    Technically I don’t think any Greek layout uses a different Unicode codepoint for the question mark. In fact, the ordinary semicolon symbol is used, so what the meme describes would probably not happen IRL.

    Does all this make it any less funnier? No. It’s still brilliant.

      Unicode should have enforced the principle of using the same encoding for similar looking characters like they did with CJK instead of allowing bullshit like the Cyrillic “o” or the Greek question mark.
