Would a question mark be considered a logograph?

Ive seen it many times used online as an entire response to convey confusion or to represent the exclamaition 'what?'.

Ive seen '?!' used as a response too, usually to something thats profound or alarming.

Ive read a few articles on english logographs and they explain that theres not many except numerical digits and some keyboard signs. Though I wonder how much the internet and younger gens have changed that. Like using single letters to represent words, like L for lose or loser (or loss if you know the meme) and W for win, winner, or success in general. So would a single or several question marks convey words or syllables as a logograph?

D for Darcy by sweetly_disposed | G | 3866 Pride and Prejudice AU, starring Louis as a slightly unorthadox Lizzie, and Harry as the misunderstood Mr. Darcy.

Wooing for Beginners by sunsetmog | T | 4362 There's a girl at school Louis is dying to impress, but Louis ends up impressing Nick instead. A sort-of bookshop/high school/Saturday job AU with extra baking and not enough fish fingers.

Sigh for Sigh by logogram | E | 10825 When his father's sudden illness forces Harry to get married in a hurry, he's delighted that Lord Louis Tomlinson is the one who makes him an offer. Being married to Louis is just as wonderful as he imagined, except for one thing-- they haven't mated yet. Or the one where they're both idiots, Harry's afraid to say what he's thinking, and Louis's just trying to be honorable.

Against His Better Judgement by lululawrence | M | 34590 It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Or a husband. Whatever. The modern Pride and Prejudice AU starring Louis as Elizabeth Bennett, Harry as Mr Darcy, Zayn as Jane/Charlotte, Liam as Mr Bingley, Gemma as Georgiana, and Niall as.....well...Niall.

Until by allwaswell16 | E | 38204 Rural Eagle County, Colorado wasn’t the type of place to find a famous musician or actor. At least not until songwriter Louis Tomlinson showed up with pop star Niall Horan to visit his uncle’s horse ranch, and they just happened to find themselves next door to a reclusive former movie star.

Felt the blood rushing through my veins, I still remember by Samcgrath | E | 42322 Harry is the heir to his father's estate and wealth and he knows he is the most eligible bachelor in all of England. Louis is the stable boy who everyone loves and adores even though he can be a touch too bitter sometimes. They can't stand each other, and the pride of one and the prejudice of the other disallows any other feelings they might have.

Just Hear This and Then I'll Go by allwaswell16 | E | 44538 Former boy band member Louis Tomlinson can’t stand pompous indie artist Harry Styles, but with a new record label to launch he is going to have to endure his pretensions to snag up and coming new artist Liam Payne, who happens to be Harry’s oldest friend. Luckily, Liam seems to be very interested in 78 Records and maybe a little more than interested in Louis’ best friend. Too bad Harry won’t be making this easy on any of them. Or a modern day Pride and Prejudice--Louis is Elizabeth, Harry is Mr. Darcy, Zayn is Jane, and Liam is Mr. Bingley. Oh, and Niall is Mrs. Bennett. Obviously.

the last person on earth i could ever marry by igotfeels | E | 50840 A Pride and Prejudice AU, where Harry is fed up with rich men and Mr Tomlinson is a very rich man.

I've Been Clumsy With Your Heart Again by QueenoftheDustPeople | E | 101560 "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a spouse!" Niall wants to fall in love with someone (not with Harry, probably). Harry wants to figure out why he cares so much (about Niall, specifically). Otherwise known as the Narry Pride and Prejudice AU that literally nobody asked for.

🪚🪵 #woodtothewise 🌲 ⁣ A decade ago, artist @yucefmerhi defined a system he called 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦. It is a sensorial metalanguage that can be applied to any language, making it automatically understandable to anyone. Merhi developed this universal language depicting words, mostly nouns, using the material they refer by definition. For example, he displayed the Chinese word for magnet (cítiě / 磁铁) using and arranging 1000 magnets.⁣ ⁣ For 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦: 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘢, the artist researched and reproduced a set of logograms (Mayan glyphs) employing a wide range of materials. He selected elements that for centuries have been part of the Mayan artisanal culture: earth, cocoa, jade, dyes, beads, and wood. Then, he investigated which Mayan symbols designated each element; from there, Merhi created a series of sculptures and installations ranging in size from 11 inches up to 50 feet. To decipher the glyphs represented by Merhi, one must only know that "𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀".⁣ ⁣ The selection process of logograms was as rigorous as possible, drawing on the expertise of archaeologists, epigraphist, and academic material. The artist also had the collaboration of botanists, historians, farmers, veterinarians, chefs, carvers, artisans, and experts in various fields.⁣ ⁣ To produce 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 (𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘥: 𝘛𝘦 #𝟹), the artist carved a piece of wood with the logogram that corresponds to the symbol for ‘wood.’ Merhi had the support of an archaeologist-epigraphist and a local carpenter.⁣ ⁣ Yucef Merhi⁣ 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦 (𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘥: 𝘛𝘦 # 𝟹)⁣ 2014⁣ Cedar wood⁣ 17¼ ⨉ 47 ⨉ 1 inches⁣ Courtesy of the artist and The Bonnier Gallery, Miami, FL. @thebonniergallery ___⁣ #yucefmerhi #perfectlanguage #thebonniergallery #te3 #wood #woodcarving #mayanlanguage #maya #mayansymbol #mayanlanguage #venezuelanartist #ancientworld #ancientcivilization #deadlanguage #logogram #metalanguage #te (at The Bonnier Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNr5w0fnV1R/?igshid=1cay3j2d4sena
