Notes: this, and not U+037E GREEK QUESTION MARK, is the preferred character U+003B SEMICOLON is the preferred character Equivalents: Thus, the rendering engine of the operating system may as well substitute the 037E character with the 003B character, even if there is a glyph available, since the two characters are canonically equivalent as Vasilis said.
