Yeah, it's hard to say... I've been seeing a lot of Question Marks lately. Just thought I would mention it.

You're right, that's a tough one. But (after some quick googling and comparing images), do you see the 3 dots lined up horizontally in the middle of each wing? The question mark seems to have a small rectangle right after those, and I don't think the eastern comma does. I'm not 100% sure on my ID though, but that's my best guess.
