Interesting! However, assuming that ASCII characters are always rendered correctly and never as "?", it seems like the only solution for "??d?" would be one of the four Łódźs?

  Sounds like someone is getting ready for Advent of Code!

Interestingly, Lady, Łady and Lądy will end up the same after the usual transliteration.

  That's (one reason) why postal codes exist. Dunno about Poland, but town names here are not unique to begin with.

  So, transliteration to "Lady", "?ady" and "L?dy" respectively seems to work even better in this case than "Lady"

Experienced postal workers most probably know well that ??d? represents a municipality with three non-ascii characters.

Łódź seems to be the only one translating to ??d?, all others have normal ASCII characters in the places 1, 2 and 4
