Thanks, Jonathan.
Yes, all three have inverted forms as unicode characters (unlike some of the 'mirrored characters' in table 4-7 such as 2201 and 2202).
You say you haven't seen the question mark inverted - would it be undesirable to do so in a Hebrew right to left context?
Thanks - Dave.

I cannot answer for Arabic, but the matter had been discussed at the SII
concerning Hebrew. I haven't seen the question mark inverted, but some
people invert the comma and the semicolon. It had been decided that this is
a rendering issue and not a character set issue.
Have you seen the Arabic comma, semicolon and question mark (060c, 061b,
061f)? See also page 6-22 in Unicode 2.0.
