Code​:
�-5.2�5�.parse-base(10)

Result​:
Invalid base-10 character '5'​: 5.2ð��©â��5. Please use one of 0..9
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

Actually thrown at​:
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

It says �5� is the invalid character when in reality poo is invalid.

Code​:
�-5.2z�.parse-base(10)

Result​:
Invalid base-10 character ''​: 5.2zâ��. Please use one of 0..9
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

Actually thrown at​:
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

And here it complains about the empty string :)
