What about your wife‽

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

In that context it sounds like the name of a new controversial interrogation technique used in Guantanamo Bay.

What's it to you‽

Intercourse the penguin

I don't like the interrobang. It looks too crowded, and the sharp angle created between the question mark and the exclamation mark looks out of place in among latin alphabet letters.

It looks like a cross between double-typed characters from an old-school typewriter, and an optical illusion where the seemingly straight lines of the exclamation cast squiggly shadows.

Either way, IMO it’s quite busy and visually unappealing. Gove me a good ol’ !? any day of the week.

Plus, depending on context !? and ?! could mean two entirely different things; to me, the former is a sign of incredulity “What the fuck!?” - while the latter is a yelled question “Can you hear me?!”

100% agree. We should have taken an opportunity to create a new symbol for question/exclamation rather than combine two together.

Interrobang looks awful written down.

‽ is my new favorite unicode character

I've long used it and for good reason. It's an excellent character

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

How do I type a character like that on a US English keyboard?

[–] quesomodo@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

On Linux desktops with compose key enabled, it's <!>

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

On Windows you can use Windows+. to open a special character window. From there you can start typing a question mark and it should jump to all related characters

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How do I do it on an Android phone?

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

For me it shows up when I switch my keyboard to special character mode, then hold the question mark: ‽

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

¡ did not know this was a thing!

[–] CrimsonAxe@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Depending on what keyboard you have, you can hold the question mark button and the interrobang will pop up
