No idea how this is relevant to my stated interest?

Over the past week since posting this I find more and more sites in
which I have a little diamong with a question mark inside it as
evidenced in the "grab" upstream. Today I went to the Safari
preferences and changed my default encoding from "Western (ISO Latin
1)" to various other possibilities. When refreshing the display I found
that the display changed, but remained in error. I reset it to Western
ISO Latin and quit.

Now all the curious oddities in the various seem to be displaying just
fine. In sum, I've purportedly changed nothing, but all is well.

Not my irritation is simply another passing curiousity.
