Well, as those ??? are most likely not actually question marks, but odd
characters that ls has decided not to show you, typing rm ??* won't work.

What I would suggest is "ls -B" and that will display that file name with
\000 codes to represent the non printing characters, and you could rm the
file using that file name.
