The interrobang (‽) is a rarely used, nonstandard English-language punctuation mark intended to combine the functions of a question mark and an exclamation point. The typographical character resembles those marks superimposed one over the other. In informal writing, the same effect is achieved by placing the exclamation point after or before the question mark, e.g. "What?!". Whereas in formal documents, we should always use the interrobang.

The question mark, in the dual-notation, frequently comes first to avoid such mistakes as understanding "What is 5!?" being understood as "What is five factorial?" Or is it because it's a question first and an exclamation only as an afterthought

Oh, and a note: I'm trying to code my lj in straight css from now on, and not using lj's FCK Editor, the default formatting, nor deprecated tags such as <font>...</font>. Maybe I'll look into making my personal style-sheet

There's got to be a dirty joke to be made about the interrobang.
