From tne cmn_err(9f) man page for solaris:
The first character in format affects where the message will
be written:
! the message goes only to the system buffer.
^ the message goes only to the console.
? If level is also CE_CONT, the message is always sent to
the system buffer, but is only written to the console
when the system has been booted in verbose mode. See
kernel(1M). If neither condition is met, the '?'
character has no effect and is simply ignored.
