Here’s a two-for-one punctuation mark: The interrobang is used at the end of an exclamatory question, combining both an exclamation mark and a question mark into one easy-to-use symbol (‽). It can also be written or typed as “?!” or “!?” if the interrobang symbol is not available on your word processing software (look under “special characters”). Usually, an exclamatory question is rhetorical, such as when a singer demands, “Are you ready to rock‽” The interrobang is relatively new — the portmanteau word has only been around since the 1960s. “Interro” is short for “interrogation point” (another term for a question mark), and “bang” is printer’s slang for an exclamation point.
