The Greek question mark is a fraction of a mm thicker. :)

I got used to seeing the same thing between O and 0 in certain fonts. O is wider than 0.

Cool, but can you spot the difference between I and I?

That one I never could crack. | is longer so that's easy.

lI makes it pretty simple to see - uppercase i is just a tad shorter.
