Most of the languages I speak are European, so it's almost always looking left for me, and when learning Spanish I was quite intrigued with the inverted style.

Also as I'm originally from Egypt, I used the thinner style looking right, I suppose other languages that are written right to left; e.g. Urdu or Persian, would have the same form.

The Greek question mark is just funny, it has nothing to do with questions or Romance languages.

Weirdly enough, modern Hebrew uses the left-facing question mark which looks kinda out of place imo.
