I have gone to view then character encoding and selected the option Unicode (UTF-8). Not only my question mark is affected, but some of the other punctuation as well, such as the quotation marks, brackets, and greater than and less than symbols. very frustrating. I am using the 3.6.10 version of firefox.

It is possible that you accidentally switched the keyboard layout.
Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
See:

Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
You need to do that while Firefox has focus.
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
The default to switch the layout is a key combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that you can easily use in Firefox to activate a menu item.
Disable the key sequence to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift) to avoid an unintentional switch and instead assign a specific key (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to switch to the keyboard layout.
