I have recently begun trying to popularize a fairly obscure piece of punctuation: the Interrobang. :idea:

Image

This nonstandard glyph was invented by in 1962 by an advertising executive named Martin K. Speckter. It combines a question mark and an exclamation point to indicate excitement or surprise. It's more elegant than using the two separately.

So instead of writing: Are you out of your mind?! :shock:
Write: Are you out of your mind‽ :shock:

To use the interrobang here on the forum, you can either copy one from another page (like its Wikipedia entry) or enter this HTML code: & # 8 2 5 3 ; (remove the spaces). Note that the Subject line does not support the interrobang. WTF‽ :?

You can learn more about the interrobang at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang.

Is this awesome or what‽ 8)

*Edited to change the image address and to add just one more interrobang to the post.

I don't know of any keyboard shortcut or anything--I always just go to Wikipedia and grab it. Pain in the butt, ain't it‽ :shock:

I never seen this symbol before and was never taught it in school or college‽ This is why I love this Forum, always learn something new.
