OK, I still don't have much feeling for it. I finally decided to just do as you suggested.

I tried to make a question-mark-in-black-diamond in each face.

In CVS.

But...I don't even know what this character is for...
and it isn't clear to me that it is bad for it to be of just one style.

This is from Jacob Poon's report of 2007-10,
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106274

Replacement character (U+FFFD) in all font variants uses FreeSans Medium question mark instead of the glyph from its own font. Consequentially, the question marks in all bold fonts do not have heavier weights, and the glyphs in oblique fonts are not slanted.
