Client part of OpenSSH (at least) has a feature called escape
characters. The default one is `~', but maybe yours is set to `?'. It
allows the user to make simple commands such as backgrounding ssh,
list connections, ...
In OpenSSH, this is tweaked through the ~/.ssh/config file with the
variable EscapeChar.
It may be related.
