U+055E "՞" Armenian Question Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+055E "՞" Armenian Question Mark is a punctuation mark used in the Armenian script, specifically positioned over the final vowel of a word to indicate a yes or no question. Unlike the Latin question mark, which appears at the end of a sentence, this mark is placed above the last letter, typically an alphabet character, and its curved, wavy shape resembles a small tilde or an inverted caret. It is encoded in the Unicode Armenian block and plays a crucial role in Armenian orthography, distinguishing interrogative sentences from statements in written text.
