Greek-Latin question mark
Actually the Greek question mark (;) looks like the Latin semi-colon (;)!
Last time I looked it up I think I found they are the same, and I tried compiling C with a Greek question mark instead of a semi-colon and it compiled fine! But I’m curious if it was because of something else, like my keyboard layout, or the compiler simply being able to handle them 🤔

Something somewhere was definitely doing the conversion for you, but it could have been your editor, the compiler or something in between like a C preprocessor directive getting loaded in by your configuration.

Wait, does C read like valley girl speech in Greek?
