I have an application which attempts to coerce a UTF-8 string to ASCII ( I'm
glad I can say I didn't make it ). When .net on Windows fails to map it throws
System.Text.EncoderFallbackException , on Mono 1.2.6 on Linux it silently fails
and replaces the characters that can't be converted with a ?

Here's the full exception on .net:

System.Text.EncoderFallbackException: Unable to translate Unicode character
\u20
19 at index 3861 to specified code page.
   at System.Text.EncoderExceptionFallbackBuffer.Fallback(Char charUnknown,
Int3

   at System.Xml.XmlEncodedRawTextWriter.WriteRaw(String data)
   at System.Xml.XmlWellFormedWriter.WriteRaw(String data)
   at TPConsole.Program.CreateTP(String XMLName)

Personally, I find the silent failure a bit concerning!
