I think what is wanted here is not to alert of unusual character but
alert of a non-syntaxically-relevant (for the reader) character, such as
?\', which quotes (or be it ?\", or ?\(, or ?\), etc.), which looks like
a character that will have syntactic consequences (like quoting), while
being a “normal” (part of the symbol) character.  Like not alerting two
symbols may look alike (the ՚open-server/´open-server case), but one
thing which is a symbol, unquoted (like \'open-server, which is evident
it’s a symbol because of the backslash, since afaik no character
preceded by a backslash can do something with syntax, apart being part
of a symbol (thus the behavior is clear)), and the other which *not* be
a unquoted symbol at all (like 'open-server, which just returns the
symbol).

I guess the same issue indeed arise with ?¸, or anything alike, that
won’t unquote the next symbol.
