Do you have something against our Spanish and Latin American
friends?  

I wonder if there is a more suitable replacement character
that
is accepted across scripts?

Japanese printing industry has a long tradition of using
U+3013
("geta") as a filler character.  Originally they
placed a type
of otherwise unused character upside down while packing
types
into a row, and the reverse side of a type, when inked and
printed, left imprint that looked like footprint somebody
who
wore a "geta" (a traditional footware) would
leave.

	http:
//ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%8B%E9%A7%84

shows how a "geta" looks like, and

	http://unicod
e.org/charts/PDF/U3000.pdf

shows how the filler character looks like.

Note that I am not suggesting to use &#3013; as a
replacement at
all.  I however think inverted question is inappropriate,
and we
should pick something else if we are fixing the question
mark
which is obviously inappropriate.
