Reversed Question Mark ⸮
⸮ (U+2E2E) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: Reversed Question Mark is part of the Symbols family (block: Supplemental Punctuation). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: REVERSED QUESTION MARK is a Unicode punctuation symbol. Its codepoint is U+2E2E and its hex form is 2E2E. It lives in the Supplemental Punctuation block. The symbol is part of basic character sets used to mark text. In history, many punctuation marks have variants in different writing systems. This character is not common in everyday English text. It appears in specialized fonts or layouts and in some digital texts that use mirrored or decorative styles. Its presence signals a question mark in a reversed form, though that usage is limited to specific layouts rather than standard practice. In simple guides, question marks are described as signs that introduce help, an FAQ, or indicate something unknown. The idea of a reversed form echoes that function, but actual usage remains rare. For most readers, this character looks like a mirrored question mark, and its meaning is understood only in the contexts where it is intentionally shown. Writers who use it should provide clear context so readers do not confuse it with the normal question mark.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2E2E 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.

Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
