: [BTW the two question marks looks bizarre is it correct?]

Just as Hebrew gets converted by the digest software into question
marks, so do other non-ASCII characters.

Including ellipses ("..." as a single character), or fancy open or close
quotes (rather than the neutral vertical ' or ").

When you see too many question marks, try imagining one of those instead
of assuming a typo.
