exclamation question mark ⁉️ - OzVoca Emoji Details
exclamation question mark
This emoji, a combination of an exclamation mark and a question mark, is used when asking a question in great surprise. It expresses a strong sense of curiosity, as if asking "Really?".
Try using it when you hear unbelievable news and want to ask, "For real?!". It can humorously convey a situation of being startled or finding something hard to believe.
The original name for this emoji is 'interrobang', a punctuation mark that expresses both a question (interrogation) and an exclamation (bang). It's very useful for asking questions that contain complex emotions like surprise or disbelief.
The 'interrobang' was invented in the 1960s but was never adopted as a standard key on keyboards. However, it has been revived as an emoji in the digital age and is used to effectively convey the nuance of a shocking or rhetorical question that is hard to express with text alone.
