The question mark is a common, handy visual representation of confusion, surprise, or just being plain weirded out. It can manifest as several question marks floating around the nonplussed character's head, a single such symbol hovering over the character, or pop up as the contents of a thought bubble (or a regular [[Speech Bubble]], in which case it seems to represent the "huh?" sound. Compare [[Visible Silence]].)
Line 6:
See also [[My Name Is Question Marks]], where it is used as a symbol of the unknown. Compare [[Alertness Blink]].
