In Spanish they use that to let you know the sentence is a question.
The ¿ goes in the beginning of a sentence and the ? at the end.
¿Como se llama?
That way you know you have to read it like a question before you actually start to read the sentence.
They also do it with exclamation marks.
¡......!
I hope this is helpful.
