It is called a Trigraph, a sequence of three characters that starts with two question marks that the compiler uses to generate punctuation marks. Its a C leftover from the days of 7 bit ASCII.

This is what is happening:
"????/????" - contains trigraph '??/' which translate to '\'
"??\????" - contains escape sequence '\?' which translate to a literal question mark
"??????" - final result


Lookup Trigraphs in MSDN.
