Rhetorical questions.
Could you please tell me if a rhetorical question is ended with a question mark?
Thanks very much in advance.

It is still a question, whether or not it is to be answered. Yes it would still have a question mark since it is still a question.
You still try to answer it but you just realise they do not want an answer.

Sorry , I misunderstood your question. In most cases a question mark is followed. I didn't see any rhetorical questions without one. But it could be possible that there are also some without a question tag. Please wait for a grammar expert

Hi,
A rhetorical question is still a question.
It's just that the speaker does not expect anyone else to answer it.
