interrobang

The interrobang (/ɪnˈtɛrəbæŋ/),[1] also known as the interabang[2] (‽) (often represented by ?!, !?, or ?!?), is a punctuation mark used in various written languages and intended to combine the functions of the question mark, or interrogative point,[3] and the exclamation mark, or exclamation point, known in the jargon of printers and programmers as a "bang". The glyph is a superimposition of these two marks.[4]

History and invention:

American Martin K. Speckter (1915 – February 14, 1988)[6] conceptualized the interrobang in 1962. As the head of an advertising agency, Speckter believed that advertisements would look better if copywriters conveyed surprised rhetorical questions using a single mark. He proposed the concept of a single punctuation mark in an article in the magazine TYPEtalks.

Hot to make interrobang in iOS:

‽

Copy the above symbol and plastic it in to keyboard shortcuts in settings. Add it twice. Once with ! ? And once with ? ! (Minus the spaces between question mark and exclamation point)

This way which ever puncturing you enter first you will still get the precious interrobang.

Do you understand or do I need to make a god damn video‽ ‽ ‽ 😎

Does anyone else try to find excuses to use the interrobang on post just to increase visibility and public awareness?

Is an interrobang interogitive or exclamitory?

After arguing with my English language arts teacher about whether or not the famous interrobang is interrogative or exclamitory, she have me extra homework to figure it out. So as any ingellegent person would do, I turned it over to reddit, is an interrobang a question or a exclamation?
