Default Combining conditions for data entry validation

I need to create a validation rule that goes like this:
(1) Only accept values that start with the value in named cell
"Restrict"
(2) Do not accept values that contain a "?" (a question mark).

Example:
If the cell "Restrict" contains "abc", the cell with the validation
rule should accept "abc", "abcd", "abc123" etc, but not "abc?",
"abcd?", "aab" or anything else. If "Restrict" contains "a", the cell
should accept anything starting with "a", unless there's a "?"
involved.

This should be possible, shouldn't it??
