� could be a nice symbol for replacing unknown chars. XChat is using it too. But since it's Unicode char, and WeeChat user might not use Unicode, there should be a configuration variable for changing it.

From GNOME Character Map:

The latest time when I asked about this on IRC:

15:36:40     Mkaysi | I am having a problem with charsets. I don't know is another party replacing all Ä and Ö letters with ?,
                    | because ? is used as unknown character replacer in WeeChat.
