This will remove any ? mark from URL

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1%1? [R,L]

put it on as your first rule in .htaccess

Short explanation:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$ checks is there any GET query string (like ?foobar or ?foo=bar or ?/21.php) in url, it also fill up the %1 variable. When RewriteCond requirement if fullfiled, RewriteRule ^(.*)$ rewrites ANY url. $1 is filled with URL part before ? mark. [R] flag indicates it's a redirect. [L] means it's a last rule.

I strongly recommend to not do this, and do it properly by fixing your links.

You can either escape question marks in URL's or remove it completely.
