question mark in it? MythTV is the only place I've seen my rectangle.<br>
I've looked at the log file in emacs, vi, and in the console, but each<br>
of those seem to have performed the backspace operation instead of<br>
displaying a symbol representing the backspace. I also tried creating<br>
a hex dump using xxd, but that doesn't show the backspace either.<br>

To experiment, I took an existing recording/video with a .srt file (in my case, an HD-PVR recording with a .srt file created using <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Captions_with_HD-PVR">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Captions_with_HD-PVR</a>), edited the .srt file in emacs, and manually added weird characters like \r, ^H, ^?, etc. to the ends of lines. Whitespace characters like \r were stripped as expected, but other special characters became the question-mark-inside-rectangle symbol. This is with the FreeMono font. Notably, the ^H backspace character did seem to erase characters in the log output.</div>
