| Nov 1, 2017 at 18:35 | comment | added | fedorqui 'SO stop harming' | @WBT just noticed your last comment, sorry for my belated response. As I also said in a comment to your answer, I already contacted the SE team long time before offering a bounty here. Since it did not work out, I thought that offering a bounty could help a bit. However, it still did not work out :| | |
| Jul 10, 2017 at 14:06 | comment | added | WBT | OK, I un-accepted it. I still recommend that as a mod, you directly re-contact the SE team, and make your proposal be for a standard character or two in the blue bubble rather than the "we should get custom design before finishing beta and set up messy precedent rules" that you have proposed here, which is easy for them to dismiss. | |
| Jul 10, 2017 at 10:14 | comment | added | fedorqui 'SO stop harming' | @WBT my point about the accepted answer is what the FAQ explains: Accepting an answer is important as it both rewards posters for solving your problem and informs others that your issue is resolved. In here, nothing is solved, so until some SE staff informs about the change in a post, I doubt we can consider any answer as "informative of the issue being solved". | |
| Jul 7, 2017 at 15:22 | comment | added | WBT | @fedorqui I was trying to call it out as a potentially useful solution that solves the disambiguation within standard character set without requiring custom design. Apparently, the SE team cannot/does not mark an answer as accepted, that is only something the question asker can do (I don't completely agree with that design choice, but it's been made). I don't think the handful votes here are necessarily representative of the Spanish Language community, and may be more of a function of the timing when the answers were posted. Later answers often get stuck at the bottom of the vote-sorted list. | |
| Jul 7, 2017 at 6:52 | comment | added | fedorqui 'SO stop harming' | @WBT any reason why this answer was accepted? Since this is a feature request, I don't think anything should be accepted unless it gets solved by the SE team. Also, this icon is quite unlikely to please the Spanish Language community, as votes suggest. | |

| Nov 17, 2016 at 15:16 | comment | added | fedorqui 'SO stop harming' | Let's be realistic: on what frequency do you find references to Spanish under the ¿ sign? and under the ñ? For example, see the logo of Instituto Cervantes the main institution to spread the usage of this language. | |

@fedorqui At least the ¿ still has Spanish ties. The ñ, though appears in Tocharian and Sanskrit transliterations, Crimean Tatar, Breton and Rohingya. You're also assuming a lot to say the ñ is immediately more recognized as Spanish than a ¿. Anyone who is using this site would be aware enough—even if it was somehow vague.

I think ñ is by far more representative of a Spanish language site than any other symbol. Using ¿? may have some sense but not many people would automatically link it to the Spanish language. Also, the link you provide says ¿ is used in written Spanish and sometimes also in languages which have cultural ties with Spanish, so it is also not unique.
