This is an interrobang. It should have become a punctuation mark, but it never really caught on. Maybe it will in the future, but probably not. The keyboard is pretty well standardized by this point, and people seem happy enough to say, “He hooked up with Sheila?!?!??!”
I think about the interrobang a lot when I am thinking about the habit we have, as a species, of assuming that the world in which we live was entirely inevitable—that we as contemporary humans are just along for the ride. But the truth is we all make up the world together as we go. We choose ?! over the interrobang. I know it feels like someone else has made this decision for us. But the truth is that together, we are making the decision right now.

Remember my love of the interrobang? I do.

I stumbled across the interrobang a few months ago when I was looking at typographic symbols and I fell in love. It is shameful that it’s so under utilized.

About

Enjoy some stupid things I find interesting from tumbler and from the internet. Periodically I write things here, written things mostly end up on my blog so it's mostly images and what not. Enjoy your stay, I hope something here makes you smile, it usually makes me smile, and on the periodic occasion disgusts me so much it deserves to be shared.
