Ancient Irish monks who kept cats to prevent mice and rats eating their sacred velum manuscripts noticed that when cats investigate some newly observed object, they tend to curl their tails into the shape of a question mark.  One can only imagine where the dot at the bottom came from ???

Origins
The symbol is generally thought to originate from the Latin quaestio, meaning "question," which was abbreviated to Qo. The uppercase Q was written above the lowercase o, and this mark was transformed into the modern symbol. Another hypothesis about the origin of the question mark proposes that the mark originated in the 9th century, when it appeared as a point followed by the curvy bit written slanted (similar to the tilde, although the tilde was tilted more upward to the right). The point has always indicated the end of a sentence. The curved line represented the intonation pattern of a spoken question, and may be associated with a kind of early musical notation, like neumes.
