Actually, is the question mark used in written Spanish and in some other languages that have cultural ties to Spanish. The question mark backwards, in all languages in which it is used, is used to create interrogative sentences and, unlike its counterpart, the frequent question mark we all know and love, upside down question mark is written or written at the beginning of an interrogative sentence instead of at the end.
