How did the Greek question mark evolve in Church Slavonic?
The Greek question mark (ερωτηματικό, *erōtīmatikó*) looks like a semicolon (;). It emerged around the 8th century, the same time as the Latin question mark. [[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark)]
Interestingly, the Greek question mark was later adopted by Church Slavonic and evolved to resemble a Latin semicolon. While it has its own Unicode encoding (U+037E ; GREEK QUESTION MARK), it is very similar in appearance to the semicolon. [[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark)]
