I retyped the whole line and the question marks went away in Reader Library.
I explored further and where the ? are displayed in Reader Library, you can insert the cursor in Sigil, press delete and nothing will apparently happen. But that deletes the hidden character.
Yet further research reveals the trouble character to be C2 in Hex, 194 in decimal. It does not display.

I have had that problem - hidden characters that are v hard to remove because they are invisible in sigil ( and show as ? on sony reader ). like you I have to put cursor where I know they are lurking and use delete. It would be good to be able to make them visible / zap them with find / replace but I never found a way to do that.
I don't know if my hidden character was same as yours - mine was some representation of some sort of dash. I messed with notepad += & was sometimes able to change them into an A + circumflex combination, but that did not help with removing/ replacing them.
