In military communications IMI (overscored) was the prosign for "repeat" and
was not generally recognized as "?".
It was used two ways ---
--- when sending, to indicate you were repeating an unusual word, as in
"HRBEK IMI HRBEK".
--- when receiving to request a repeat, as in "IMI WA (word after) KENT".
The interrogation prosign was "INT" and was used to indicate a question.
For example, a ham might send "QSL?". A military operator would send "INT
QSL".
