I'm scratching my head... you want to keep the question marks?
But I guess you mean the back arrow and the up arrow.

The first ingredient must be a printer with a a suitable font table, in these
times of soft fonts that should be a given or tractable.
The second element is to convert to and use an MCS / multibyte character

So I have an MSV11-QC (the 4gb Q Bus memory board) that has a failed
bit. On an 11/73 it throws the following error:
Expected data = 125252 (1010 1010 1010 1010
Bad data= 121252 (1010 0010 1010 1010)
Address = 10015140
Which puts the error in the top 2mb (1mw), bit 4000. No bi

I think you have the essence of a solution, using the Unix filter paradigm at
user or driver level.
Your desire to retain the original file format(s) is very sensible, it is
always best to record "raw" data - for the greatest fidelity.
The ISO 7-layer model provides a paradigm for data transp
