Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2049 "⁉" Exclamation Question Mark is a typographic ligature that combines an exclamation mark and a question mark into a single glyph, used to convey a heightened sense of surprise, disbelief, or urgent inquiry in written text. It serves as a compact way to express an exclamatory question, such as "You did what⁉" and is often employed in informal writing, comics, and digital communication to add emotional intensity. This character is part of the General Punctuation block in Unicode and was introduced to standardize a common expressive symbol that was previously represented by typing the two marks separately or using an interrobang.
