Meaning

A hollow, outlined question mark. It means the same as the solid red one — a question, confusion, uncertainty — but its lighter weight makes it read as gentler and less confrontational. The red version can feel like an interrogation; this one feels like a genuine query. That distinction is subtle but real, and people do use them differently.
