Underappreciated Punctuation II: The Interrobang

An portmanteau of interrogative point and bang, the interrobang is this cute, little fellow here, ?!

Now this punctuation mark has no standardized place on your typical qwerty scheme but rather is the typographical superimposition of your two familiars.

[It does however merit this ugly little sibling in Unicode: ‽]

And just like the two symbols are visually combined, so too do they coalesce functionally. It's not quite a question, and its not quite an incredulity, but it might be both and it might be a little rhetorical too?!

However, should an interrobang not be kosher, an exclamation mark (or a bang, if you will) shall prove sufficient.

Underappreciate that muthafuckers!
