+I think unless we know that a specific pattern is bugous in .NET we 
+should copycat their patterns. This is part of .NET Framework 
+compatiblity just like public assembly metadata.

+
+That's correct. But this list was printed to console that uses ANSI 
+code page (in this case SBCS with only 256 characters; in fact less 
+because of control chars) and Windows converts unknown or 
+unrepresentable characters to '?'. If you want to get the correct 
+list simply print the same data to an UTF-8 encoded file.
