Client  part  of  OpenSSH  (at  least) has  a  feature  called  escape
characters. The default one is `~',  but maybe yours is set to `?'. It
allows the  user to  make simple commands  such as  backgrounding ssh,
list connections, ...

In OpenSSH,  this is tweaked  through the ~/.ssh/config file  with the
variable EscapeChar.

It may be related.
