From this week’s Sunday Type on the origins of the question mark:
No one is quite sure how the present form came to be. Some believe that It originated from the Latin abbreviation for question, Qo, where the Q was written above the o. There are numerous other theories, ranging from the downright silly (the cats tail) to the more plausible, like the question mark evolving from an inverted form of the semicolon. Interestingly, the semicolon [U+003B] is used in Greek as a question mark.
On that note, enjoy Archer’s question mark in all it’s glory. I think it’s beautiful.
