Why have I never seen this symbol before‽

Michael Leddy said...

Because it’s a relic of the 1960s, never in widespread use.

Typographically, I've always felt the interrobang was a little difficult to discern (depending on the typeface and line weight, of course). But I have always liked the notion of having a single symbol, in lieu of "?!".

Oh, and...

The question comma, and exclamation comma?

Michael Leddy said...

Yes, ‽ seems of a piece with the ↬ of Curator’s Code.

How would you use the question comma and exclamation comma?
