Interrobang
A punctuation mark combining a question mark and an exclamation point. It expresses surprise and inquiry simultaneously. Often used in comics and informal writing.
The interrobang is a punctuation mark invented in the 1960s that merges the question mark and exclamation point. Shaped like a superimposition of “?” and “!”, it allows writers to express both inquiry and excitement in one symbol. It is popular in advertising, headlines, social media posts and informal writing, especially for conveying dramatic emphasis. As a typographic glyph, it also serves as a playful design element in print and digital media. In Unicode, it is encoded as U+2049 with an emoji presentation variant selector (FE0F), and its appearance may vary across fonts and platforms. Today, it is widely supported as an emoji on smartphones and messaging apps.
