A mirrored question mark with its own code point
⸮ is U+2E2E REVERSED QUESTION MARK, a question mark facing the other way. It's a separate character, not a flipped font effect, so it stays reversed wherever plain text goes. It sits in the Supplemental Punctuation block and arrived in Unicode 5.1. Unicode's character notes give it a Latin alternative name, punctus percontativus, and cross-reference three other question marks: ?, ¿ and ؟.
Ways to use ⸮
- A visual twist in a bio or caption:
really⸮reads differently fromreally?. - Puzzles and mirror-text games, where a backwards question mark is the point.
- Typography and Unicode notes, where you need the exact character rather than an image.
Question marks that look alike
| Glyph | Code point | Name | What Unicode says |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⸮ | U+2E2E | REVERSED QUESTION MARK | = punctus percontativus |
| ? | U+003F | QUESTION MARK | The keyboard question mark |
| ¿ | U+00BF | INVERTED QUESTION MARK | = turned question mark; noted as Spanish. See ¿ |
| ؟ | U+061F | ARABIC QUESTION MARK | Also used with Thaana and Syriac in modern text |
| ; | U+037E | GREEK QUESTION MARK | Canonically equivalent to the semicolon ; (U+003B), which is the preferred character |
| ‽ | U+203D | INTERROBANG | Question + exclamation. See ‽ |
| ⸘ | U+2E18 | INVERTED INTERROBANG | = gnaborretni |
| ⹔ | U+2E54 | MEDIEVAL QUESTION MARK | Added in Unicode 14.0 |
Inverted vs reversed: ¿ is turned upside down, ⸮ is mirrored left to right. They are different characters and aren't interchangeable.
Things to know
- No normalization folds it. ⸮ has no decomposition, so under NFKC it stays ⸮. A search for "?" won't match it.
- The Greek question mark trap: ; (U+037E) looks exactly like a semicolon because Unicode makes it canonically equivalent to U+003B. Normalization (even plain NFC) turns it into an ordinary semicolon.
- ⸮ is punctuation (category Po), not an emoji, so it keeps your text color.
Typing ⸮
- Word for Windows: type
2E2E, then Alt + X. - Mac: with the Unicode Hex Input source, hold Option and type
2E2E. - HTML:
⸮or⸮.
