U+FFFD doesn’t make sense for an ASCII string, but 0x3F might.  Any idea what Windows shows for this device?

I can imagine a different buggy expander that has just one or two bad characters.  In that case, it would make sense to replace them.  But replace them with what?  The UTF replacement character 0xFFFD isn't an option, because the result is supposed to be ASCII.  There's no other obvious choice, which is why I chose to replace the whole thing.
