There is no grammatical reason for the insertion of these symbols in a certain way.These are recommendations made within the particular language system.The inverted question mark (¿) is a punctuation mark written before the first letter of an interrogative sentence or clause to indicate that a question follows. It is an inverted form of the standard symbol "?" recognized by speakers of languages written with the Latin alphabet.
