In practical text, a question mark helps readers know that an answer or help is coming. The usage note for this symbol states that question marks commonly introduce help, FAQ, or unknown status. This means it signals that more guidance or a clarification is available. Writers may use it to flag sections that explain procedures, offer tips, or point out items that are not yet known. In digital and print materials, the question mark helps structure a page or document. It directs readers to answers, steps, or additional details.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+37E
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.
