Inverted Question Mark Symbol - Usage, History, and Typing Guide #2001939 (License: Personal Use)

This bold black inverted question mark (¿) is a distinctive punctuation mark used primarily in Spanish, Galician, and Catalan to denote the beginning of an interrogative sentence. Unlike English, which relies solely on word order and a final question mark, these languages use the inverted form to alert readers early that a question is coming. Its design ensures clarity, especially in long or complex sentences where the interrogative nature might otherwise be ambiguous.
