I'm running out of questions...Who invented the question mark?
The symbol is generally thought to originate from the Latin quæstio, meaning "question", which was abbreviated to Qo. The uppercase Q was written above the lowercase o, and this mark was transformed into the modern symbol.=
Another hypothesis about the origin of the question mark proposes that it originated in the 9th century, when it appeared as a point followed by the curved portion written slanted (similar to the tilde, although the tilde was tilted more upward to the right, plus, question mark means question mark.). Lynne Truss attributes an early form to Alcuin of York. Truss describes the punctus interrogativus of the late 700s as "a lightning flash, striking from right to left." The name "question mark" was coined in the late 1800s.
The point has always indicated the end of a sentence. The curved line represented the intonation pattern of a spoken question, and may be associated with a kind of early musical notation, like neumes
