I got curious if I can get data to answer that, and it seems so. Based on xlsx from [0], we got the following ??d? localities in Poland: 1 x Bądy, 1 x Brda, 5 x Buda, 120 x Budy, 4 x Dudy, 1 x Dydy, 1 x Gady, 1 x Judy, 1 x Kady, 1 x Kadź, 1 x Łada, 1 x Lady, 4 x Lądy, 2 x Łady, 1 x Lęda, 1 x Lody, 4 x Łódź, 1 x Nida, 1 x Reda, 1 x Redy, 1 x Redz, 74 x Ruda, 8 x Rudy, 12 x Sady, 2 x Zady, 2 x Żydy Certainly quite a lot to search for a lost package.

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

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? | ||||||||

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

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