Hm. See http://developer.apple.com/fonts/LastResortFont/ where it
shows glyphs for "illegal" characters (FFFE/FFFF etc.) as well as
"undefined" characters (valid code positions which have not been
assigned). I thought somehow that there was a glyph for "broken"
characters (characters that were just plain wrong) as well.
