I think "diamond" simply was a description how the char
looked. But U+FFFD also looks like a diamond so if you think
that's what it is, that sounds reasonable given its
name, right?

In a Linux VT running an Emacs instance, insert this char with

  (insert-char ?\ufffd)

In a Linux VT just running zsh (also tested with bash; works),
do

  $ printf -v rc %04x 0xfffd
  $ printf "\u${rc}\n"
