--- Comment #1 from Conrad Meyer <cem at freebsd.org> ---
It's a term of art and just gets passed through via strerror(3) of EILSEQ.  It
means the input data is malformed in UTF-8 or other multi-byte charset
configured via LC_CTYPE.

$ grep EILSEQ /usr/include/errno.h
#define EILSEQ          86              /* Illegal byte sequence */
