The question mark, ?, was a punctuation mark used in many documents on Earth to denote an interrogative.
As Fashion for The Doctor
During some of his incarnations, the Doctor adopted the question mark as a personal motif. 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, 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 a Gallifreyan symbol. Neither he nor any companion ever explicitly referred to the motif as a question mark.
