Yeah. But we are talking here about localization, so why should we avoid
to use a translated string of "not a number"?
I also can't see the reqirement to use a single character. Especialy not
because all other values are not represented by a single character too.
Nobody dare to require "100" or "0.5" to be represented by a single
character, although some languages can.
(by the way: are there any formatting characters which leads to the use
of special value characters like ? - especialy usefull with rounding to
0.5 or 0.25 or even 0.125? Or [more unlikely] formatting for bases other
than 10? Or [most unlikely] using special characters like ?, ?, ? or ?
(my favorite ;-)? Of course only if the used language provides these...)
