My unit came pre-programmed.

I would have guessed he was asking about keyboard keys not working, not
regular expressions.

Is it? That same internet that foments conspiracy theories like
mushrooms after a rain and gives nobodies who would be ignored shouting
from a street corner rapt audiences?

The internet is powerful, but not friendly.

Sounds like a questions involving military hardware. 56th Artillery
is US Army, but your email address suggests Marine Corp.

?*? is what a printer or display would produce if it doesn't
recognize some characters. In the case, the "?" is a place
holder for a character that can't be displayed or printed.
My guess(tm) is that it's something like "*" where the two
quote marks were replaced by the question marks. On an
Apple computer, they would be replaced by square black boxes.
So, the single key that you press (not hit) is just an asterisk
or an *.

Is that a defense department term? The military occupational specialty designation of a wire/cable installer is 31L. Like on Hogan's Heroes. You know: with all those Allies prisoner soldiers sneaking forbidden telephone lines, radios and other equipment into the Axis prison camp.
