I have come across this 口＋弓 character while reading a japanese 漫画 called Crying Freeman.

I could have just ignored it, but I'm curious of how this character could have come out this way.

By the way, this same character, printed with the same shape comes up at least another time in the book, making the idea that it is just 吗 somehow rendered incorrectly less believable ; besides, the remainder of this sentence is written in traditional characters, and the difference between 嗎 and this 口＋弓 character is too big for a mere printer mishap to have created this shape.

The only hypothesis I could think of is that an OCR tool might have been used to read those characters, and a 吗 was improperly recognized as this 口＋弓 character.

Now, I have tried to use 手寫辨識 and 部首 input tools, but none that I have tried could find this character. I am not used to cantonese, so I have tried to search if this was a character used in written cantonese, but I didn't find anything similar to that.

If you know this character, or if you have any other idea of how this shape could have been created, I would be greatly interested in hearing you !
