U+2E2E "" Reversed Question Mark is a specialized punctuation mark used primarily in ancient and medieval manuscripts, particularly in Syriac and other Semitic scripts, to indicate a rhetorical question or ironic emphasis rather than a direct one. It visually mimics a standard question mark flipped horizontally, and its purpose is to alert readers that a sentence is not a genuine inquiry but a stylistic device, such as a sarcastic remark or a rhetorical flourish. This character is distinct from the common interrobang and is rarely employed in modern digital text, though it occasionally appears in scholarly editions or experimental typography to preserve historical punctuation conventions.
