TIL about the greek question mark

Tell me, can you tell the difference between these two characters?

    Like r/programmerhumor, this community is already full of people who literally never programmed anything more than Hello World before.

      And just like Reddit you’re complaining about it for absolutely no reason. How about we try to be a bit more welcoming and a bit less gatekeepery.

        I realize my attitude is negative, but r/programmerhumor was not my crowd and it looks like neither is this community. There is no place where I can find memes about a large part of my life and I’m frustrated.

        “Missing semicolon”, “light IDE is for psychopaths”, “JS sucks”, “AI is just if-statements”, I just can’t relate to those jokes and after the 100th repost I still don’t think they’re funny.

      programming hello world is doing better than most people and I applaud and welcome beginners.

      I am little more than an amateur myself, entirely self taught, and yet I’m forever digging into various bits of code for my marketing job, because paying someone $400 to fix a recalcitrant css style in a week and a half is worse than just doing it myself.

      Who the hell tries putting Greek question marks in their code? Like, I get most compilers will show you what character each error starts at, but still.
