A punctuation mark (?), used to indicate
enquiry or doubt. When indicating enquiry, it
is placed at the end of a direct question
(`Who is coming?') but never at the end of an
indirect question (`He asked us who was
coming'). When indicating doubt, it usually
appears between brackets, to show that a
writer or editor is puzzled or uncertain
about quoted text.
