When to use it

Opens questions in Spanish: ¿Qué tal?

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&iquest;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\00BF"; }

const s = "\u00BF";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.
