      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The javadoc source for TextAttribute.CHAR_REPLACEMENT includes the escape sequence "\uFFFC". This appears in the generated HTML as a question mark.

      This is not a browser font issue, as the generated HTML itself contains the question mark.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      The documentation should probably read "Follows the Microsoft model: the character that this is applied to should be U+FFFC (OBJECT_REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER)."
      ACTUAL -
      Follows the Microsoft model: the character that this is applied to should be ?.

      URL OF FAULTY DOCUMENTATION :
      http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/font/TextAttribute.html#CHAR_REPLACEMENT
