I think it depends on how to define the words, "next line" and " the first character". You are asked to decode the words "next line" and "the first character", not the "!","@", and "?".In C++, !, "@" and "?" are characters.

Surely the correct answer is 'Q' then. i.e. first letter (character) in the word 'Quote'.
