How to write the question mark

In what direction is the question mark written? Are both ticks written from left to right? And which is written first, the one that looks like a backslash (\) or the one that looks like a slash (/)?

Another character I am unsure of is the one that denotes a proper noun and looks like an equals sign (=). Are the ticks written from left to right? I used to write them from up to down until I saw they were more horizontal in some texts.
