I get the same character in several newsletters.  It used to be a blank
square. I've reported this a few times (e.g., 28278, 30028), but gotten
no support or resolution so far.  Thus, I'm glad someone else is seeing
this - and in French, not just English.  Here are two recent examples,
one from England, the other from the States:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
