Detailed Explanation
The function of a rhetorical question is to emphasize a point or to get the audience to think. The answer is usually obvious or implied in the question itself. In writing, it is always terminated with a standard question mark. The idea of a special character like `?.` is a very rare or non-standard concept.
Its use is common in speeches, literature, and everyday conversation to make an argument more persuasive.
