Maybe I'm not understanding the suggestion--do you mean a unicode symbol for flat, and it is just coming through the list as a question mark?

Because as it is presented in this email, as a question mark, I would have to ask how does this work with using cautionary accidentals?

Cautionary accidentals already make use of the question mark symbol.

Here is the normal use:
g g g ef | g g g e? | df df df eff

How would this work in your syntax?

g g g e? | g g g e?? | df df df e??
