"This is also used as a placeholder for the second cell of a
double-cell character."  However, ELinks should filter those
placeholders out when dumping.  This has been fixed in ELinks
0.13.GIT with the following patch, which I'm now going to apply
to 0.12.GIT too.

Fix -dump with multicell characters
