Remove from DB - only one acting credit in "China dolls", and I just uploaded the credits of that movie - there is no actor's name with that Chinese character.

U+E03D is not a valid unicode character.

I cannot decipher it and I do not know what is its variant.

If nobody stops me in 15 days I will remove 13082.

Now I see that maybe ? instead of ? which I copied from HKFA, that's why I wrote "Kou"

I think it indicates an undisplayable character. ?? (???)

There are names in hkfa with the character ?, e.g.,:

Name Entries
????, 1
• See Also Sakaguchi, Yoshihire, 1
????, 1
???, ??. 82
• See Also Tai Hau Ho, ??. 67
???, 1
????, 1
• See Also Oguchi, Kenji,

It cannot be ? because ? is U+53E3 and ? is U+E03D
