Actually, "???" is a valid non-trigraph that doesn't confuse C compilers.
It just sometomes forms a trigraph when mixed with other punctuation.
E.g., "???)" forms the character "?" followed by the trigraph "??)".
So "???)" is converted to "?]" by C compilers.

In fb.c, "???" was followed by ",", so it was just a syntax error (one
of many bugs in the dead code).
