You need to supply the possible answers you are looking for. In general, * ? + . etc are wildcard characters, along with [] for set inclusions, etc.

What wildcard symbol represents for any collection of characters?

The wildcard symbol that represents any collection of characters is the asterisk (). In various computing contexts, such as file searching or command-line operations, the asterisk can match zero or more characters in a string. For example, using "file" would match any file name that starts with "file," regardless of what follows.

What is the purpose of the question mark in a file name?

You cannot have a file name containing a question mark; it is an invalid character. However, you can use the question mark as a wildcard. E.g., to list every .txt file that has exactly two characters in its file name you would use the following command: dir ??.txt The '?' wildcard simply means any one character. If you wish to specify any group of characters, use the asterisk wildcard instead: dir *.txt For more information, look up "wildcard" in the command line documentation. Most systems limit a file name to alphabet letters A-Z (and a-z) and numbers 0-9 and some special characters such as "$", "_", "#" with a single period separating the name part from an extension part (i.e. document.txt spreadsheet.xls). However, the actual directory structure in modern systems uses 8-bit characters for the file name so it is not impossible to have "invalid" characters in a file name. On the Microsoft platforms, a system or hardware misadventure can resulted in a corrupted file name entry with punctuation or non-printable characters in the file name. Some utilities deal with this by displaying question mark characters as printable substitutes for them. Unix/linux implementations, being less restrictive, allow file names to have non-printable characters by using the backslash ("\") escape code.
