Well, we don't see what you see. but if ? was hex a7, the message is entirely correct. If you want to enter that, use "\xa7".
We see different things. I see a section sign (double s) symbol. From the symptoms, I would suspect that the terminal is set to latin-1 or -15 (both have the section sign at 0xa7) even though the system (and thus R) is utf-8.
(Incidentally said 0xa7 is know as the "paragraph" symbol in Danish legal texts, whereas the paragraph symbol at 0xb6 is largely unknown.)
