sed(1) collation sequence \x00-\x1f would not work, \x01-\x1f works
fine. The \x00 works on a custom system of mine with the save version of
sed(1) but with a 3.4.91 kernel compiled by me.

Sed version on both is 4.2.1.

command used is
A=$( 'the result of a call to an application'
	|& sed -r -e's/\x00-\x1f\x80-\xff/?/g' )

The idea is to duplicate the output format of ls(1) with respect to non
printing characters, those outside the normal 7 bit ASCII range.

Not a big deal, I simply used \x01, but figured that it would be
something to note.

Those who will not reason, are bigots,
those who cannot, are fools,
and those who dare not, are slaves.

Justice will not be served until those who are
unaffected are as outraged as those who are.

That government is best which governs least.
    Henry David Thoreau
Honor, justice and humanity forbid us tamely to
surrender that freedom which we received from
our gallant ancestors and which our innocent
posterity have a right to receive from us. We
cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning
succeeding generations to that wretchedness which
inevitably awaits them if we basely entail
hereditary bondage on them.
