that is a semi colon, aka parataxis.
it is used to separate two ideas which (perhaps do not agree, but) are similar. It can be used to replace a period and join the two ideas to give more bold meaning to a sentence.
For example:
"My brother likes jazz music; he's got 10 jazz records."
"I've always been in love with the smooth ride of a sailboat; my mother hates it."

Semicolon and question mark; in general, they're referred to as punctuation marks.
