Interrobang symbol
Type :interrobang: · Punctuation
What ‽ is for
A question mark and an exclamation mark sharing one glyph, for the sentence that is asking and shouting at once. Invented in 1962 by an ad executive who thought "you did what?!" deserved better than two marks stacked up. Never quite went mainstream, which is part of the appeal.
