When reading, they just give you a forewarning that what follows is a question or an exclamation. It is especially helpful for questions since the syntax in Spanish for a question and a statement can be the same.
For example:
Es para tí. (It is for you)
¿Es para tí? (Is it for you?)

In both statements it should be "tí" instead of "tú". - 00e657d4, Dec 11, 2009

Spanish encloses the interrogative or exclamatory portion of a sentence with ¿? or ¡! or ¿!.
Ella me preguntó "¿Cómo está?"
¡Qué bonita!
They are always used in pairs.
