Placeholder number with siunitx



The Next CEO of Stack Overflow

I would like to add a placeholder number in my text, to remind me that I still have to look it up, later. I usually just use something like "XYZ" or "???" for this. But when I'm using the SI notation I get an error that "?" is not a number.



documentclass{article} 
usepackage{siunitx}

begin{document}
I don't know yet what number to place here: SI{???}{percent}.
end{document}


The error I get is:



siunitx error: "invalid-token-in-number" Invalid token '?' in numerical input. For immediate help type H <return>. ...at number to place here: SI{???}{percent}


What is the best/suggested way to add a placeholder number or symbol in SI-notation?
