What does Unicode code mean for "¿"?

Question

Google did not help.

Answer 1

A quick google search for “unicode for an inverted question mark” led me to an article that said

The inverted question mark (¿) corresponds to the Unicode 191 code point (U + 00BF)

¿ɹoɟ buıʞoo ן ǝɹǝʍ noʎ ʇɐɥʍ ʇɐɥʇ sı

Answer 2

If you want to get the Unicode value for a character, you can use this simple Javascript:

javascript:alert("¿".charCodeAt(0))

This will result in a warning about the Unicode value for the character. If you want to use it in HTML, the syntax is also # 191; (without a space between and and #), where 191 is the Unicode number of your character.

Answer 6

If you know Java, you can print it as follows:

$ cat UnicodeTest.java  
public class UnicodeTest { 
    public static void main( String [] args )  { 
        System.out.println( ( int ) '¿' );
    }
}


$ javac -encoding UTF8 UnicodeTest.java  
$ java UnicodeTest
191

Answer 191

Java characters are unicode.

By the way, ¡This is not an inverted question mark! this is an “opening” question mark. It's just that not everyone uses it as "(" not up ").
