>>From ???????

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????

The point is, ????? can encompass all of these terms, and they refer 
to different configurations of elder brother/younger sister elder 
sister/younger brother, etc., and so on.  BUT, this is more of a 
linguistic point than something that occurs regularly in standard 
practice, and few will go to the trouble of denoting the exact ?/ 
breakdown.  Note that the primary entry for ????? is ?? (standard), 
and in addition to covering brother relationships also covers the notion 
of 'siblings.'

However, if specifically sisters are unambiguously the target here, 
?? is of course read as ???.
