Equality Checking Symbol (Question Mark over Equals) in LaTeX
Took me forever to figure this one out today…a simple question mark over an equals sign, for checking equality in a paper writt3n in LaTeX. There are a billion “special” commands for something over an equals sign, why not a question mark? Well, that would be too easy…
This is the best I could come up with.
\alpha \stackrel{?}{=} \beta gave me 
.
Close enough, although the question mark is a little high. Wordpress LaTeX stuff provided by this plugin modified from this one.
Update: Lisa recommended this:
\alpha \stackrel{_?}{=} \beta renders as 
. Much better, thanks!

Try \alpha \stackrel{_?}{=} \beta, that works better. Just make the question mark a subscript.
