-? doesn't work with zsh

It's because zsh uses ? as a wildcard. You know how using * in a command expands it to every file with the star matching part of the text? ? does the same, but only for a single character. So here, it's trying to expand it to every two-character-long file where the first character is a hyphen, and you don't have any, so it complains.

There's nothing I can do about this, since it's done by zsh rather than exa... --help is pretty much standard, though, and it has that, at least!

Oh ok, thanks for clearing it up! I didn't think it was an issue with exa I was just curious if it's been addressed before, or was in any help docs somewhere that I missed.

Maybe that'd be something worth mentioning in the help text? Something as simple as Show list of command line options (If on zsh, use --help) to prevent further issues being filed :P

Thing is, it's also a wildcard in fish, and I don't want to have to go through every shell just to find out what's supported and what isn't! That way lies maaaaaaaadness. Hopefully anyone in the future just finds this issue!

Gotcha, good point! :)
