‽
Interrobang
A nonstandard mark fusing the question mark and exclamation point to punctuate disbelieving questions: You did what‽ Invented by advertising executive Martin K. Speckter in 1962. Formal writing still prefers the two-character sequence ?!, but the single glyph remains a typographic favourite.
Biography
1962Invented in 1962 by New York advertising executive Martin K. Speckter, who wanted a single mark for the rhetorical question asked in disbelief — the kind that is half question, half exclamation. It got real traction: some 1960s typewriters offered the key as an option. Then it faded from everyday use, but Unicode keeps it alive with its own code point.
