Can you respond back to them with the information as to the languages involved?
I believe they read the Unicore list, don't they, Mark? N2543 and 02/394 show the character used for the Limbu language, and shows the glyph without a dot and with a horizontal headbar, which the question mark never has. (It also shows an example where, because the typesetters didn't have the letter available they substituted a question mark, but that just goes to show that we need to encode this, because it is a letter, not a punctuation mark.)
