Trying it here, the problem is not with the mapping, but that the :put command fails, even when executed manually: :put="Hello" causes insertion of a newline only. > In insert mode, Alt-? inserts an upside down question mark.

Wasn't the idea that Alt-? > would put "Hello" on the screen? Looking at ":h put", you'd gain the impression that it should work as presented. Why the text is dropped, but the newline makes it, is a mystery to me too.
