One can choose between the following two solutions; the first one centers the two symbols with respect to one another, the second one draws the square and then displaces the check mark.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
\mbox{\ooalign{$\checkmark$\cr\hidewidth$\square$\hidewidth\cr}}
\makebox[0pt][l]{$\square$}\raisebox{.15ex}{\hspace{0.1em}$\checkmark$}
\end{document}
By acting on the two dimensions, one can find by trial and error the best relative positioning of the check mark with respect to the box.
This gives (with magnification x16 and displayed horizontally):
You could use the relsize package and its \larger command to scale up a bold-face question mark. In the following MWE, the default enlargement step is 1, but there's an option to change the amount of enlargement up to 5 (which corresponds to the \Huge absolute-size setting command).
The \bigqm ("big question mark") is set up using the \text command because you have the term "mathematical symbols" in your question's title; the macro also works in text mode, by the way.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{relsize}
\newcommand{\bigqm}[1][1]{\text{\larger[#1]{\textbf{?}}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Question mark: ?
0 $x=y\bigqm[0]$
1 $x=y\bigqm$
2 $x=y\bigqm[2]$
3 $x=y\bigqm[3]$
4 $x=y\bigqm[4]$
5 $x=y\bigqm[5]$
\end{frame}
\end{document}
