Inverted Question Mark Symbol - Usage, History & Typing Guide #2002660 (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 the terminal question mark (?), these languages use the inverted form at the sentence’s outset for clarity, especially in long or complex questions. Its design ensures readers immediately recognize the interrogative tone before reaching the end of the sentence.
