What I see[1] is Maltese Cross and a Macron over the preceding
character. That’s two code points, not one. You need to either remove
the macron, or treat the two characters as a string, enclosing it in
quotes instead of prefixing with a question mark.
[1]: I actually see the macron over the Maltese cross, but that’s due
to a bug in font rendering on my system. Diacritic marks are supposed
to affect the preceding character, and in your message the macron code
point appears between the question mark and the Maltese cross.
