He aquí la respuesta al gran enigma del significado de (?) *Rhetorical question mark* (Irony mark) The rhetorical question mark or percontation point was invented by Henry Denham in the 1580s and was used at the end of a rhetorical question; however, its use died out in the 17th century. It was later revived in modern day society by Matt DiRoberto. Bracketed question marks can be used for rhetorical questions, for example Oh, really(?), in informal contexts such as 888 subtitles. For an ironic or sarcastic statement, a bracketed exclamation mark may be used: Oh, really(!). The question mark can also be used as a meta-sign to signal uncertainty regarding what precedes. It is usually put between brackets (?). The uncertainty may concern either a superficial (such as unsure spelling) or a deeper truth (real meaning) level.
