How to Tell Siri to Send a Text Message with Special Characters Such as Enter (Newline or EOL) - Dictation Commands
This is a question?
End of text.
Was generated by me saying
"this is a question question mark new line end of text full stop"
though I did have to then manually fake it into SE's markdown format
SE isn't great for formatting tables, so this is really just in case the link ever disappears
