The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Doctors displayed question marks on the collars of their shirts. (DW: The Leisure Hive, Castrovalva, The Twin Dilemma, Time and the Rani) The Seventh Doctor wore a jumper covered with the symbol, carried an umbrella with a question-mark-shaped handle, carried a business card with a stylized question mark, and when asked to sign his name, did so with a question mark. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks)
- It was unclear whether the Doctor regarded the symbol as a question mark or as an unknown Gallifreyan symbol. Neither he nor any companion ever explicitly referred to the motif as a question mark.
