It is not a question mark character but a some strange non-ASCII
character, though it is displayed as a question mark in some
environment.

How does this demonstrate anything about PDF?

As it occurred with pure ASCII profile of non-ASCII-capable e-mail,
the same will occur with pure ASCII profile of non-ASCII-capable PDF.

What *is* a "pure ASCII profile of non-ASCII-capable PDF"? A PDF viewer 
that doesn't understand, for example, code point 160?

The problem with email is people use html way too much.  TXT ->
HTML -> TXT does not work reliable.  Too many one way transformations.
