How can I put a question mark above a less-than-or-equal-to symbol(\leq) in LaTeX?

A: 

When you say 'question mark above \leq' do you mean a custom accent symbol? Or just a question mark above the \leq?

The latex docs have a section on accent symbols which may be useful, but don't include a question mark...

You can use stackrel:

\begin{equation}
  2 \stackrel{?}{\le} 3
\end{equation}
\end{document}

Or, if you use the amsmath package, you can use overset as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
  2 \overset{?}{\le} 3
\end{equation}
\end{document}

Thanks, that's what I wanted!

\stackrel{\text{\tiny ?}}{=}

@sgm: Why go into `\text` (`\text` requires `amsmath`, but that's OK since it's used a lot anyway) and change the fontsize rather than use `\scriptscriptstyle` in math mode if you want it small? There may well be a good reason.

A: 

Use the accents package. You can do more fun stuff with TeX primitives, but here's the easy and most flexible way:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{accents}
\newcommand{\qleq}{\accentset{?}{\leq}}
\begin{document}
Test: $a \qleq b$.
\end{document}
