  Is the interrobang not enough for you‽

    ¡I love the interrobang! But I feel like we need more than just that. ⸘Would it not be fantastic to know the tone of a sentence from the beginning‽

    Also, I believe what OP is looking for is something like this image. Sadly, I can’t find a keyboard with them, or a copy/pastable line where they’ve been typed. 1000010473

    Would also be useful mixed with the interrobang. The backwards question mark “⸮” is also often used for rhetorical questions. But it’s sometimes replaced with ❓because it’s easier to type on a phone. ❗Is sometimes used for sarcastic enthusiasm, too, instead of the “official” sarcmark with is apparently copywrited and difficult to parse because it’s all swirly and weird, whereas the big red ❗ or ❓ is way more obviously out of place and meant to be noticed, like sarcasm or a rhetorical question.

      Maybe use combining diacritical marks?

      I’m using 0x326 (Combining Comma Below), but you may need the ZWJ in there to render correctly in all contexts

      e.g.

      Foo!̦ Bar?̦

        I’m not techy enough to know if that’s something I can do on my android or not. Lol. I never use the laptop for anything other than school.

    I always enjoy a good interrobang before bed

    We’re both talking about the same thing right?

  Writing is as much a form of stylistic expression as any other medium.
