History & usage: MEDIEVAL QUESTION MARK is a punctuation mark used in writing. Its codepoint is U+2E54 and its hex value is 2E54. It belongs to the Supplemental Punctuation block and uses the Common script. In this context, the character helps signal questions or uncertain notes in texts from the medieval period and beyond. The available usage note is simple and direct: Question marks commonly introduce help, FAQ, or unknown status. This means the symbol is used to mark lines where readers should seek guidance or where a reader faces an unknown item. The character sits in a family of marks that guide readers through questions and clarifications. Writers may employ it to point to a helpful section or a decision point. It is not tied to a modern keyboard and is mostly seen in historical or specialized typography. For English texts, it functions as a cue for readers that a question is present or that information may be needed. In all cases, the mark helps readers navigate content by signaling inquiry or uncertainty.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E54 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
