| Mar 8, 2013 at 20:22 | comment | added | horatio | Interrobang is unicode x203D (8253 in base10). As to how you get them, it depends on OS. In windows, you hold alt key down and type the 4 digit decimal code on numpad, then release the alt key. The typeface must have the glyph, but since it is OS based, the technique is generally software agnostic. Note that unicode can cause issues with non-unicode aware/capable programs. In that case the best case is an ugly or missing character. (for other OS, see superuser.com/questions/13086/… ) | |

@LaurenIpsum Ctrl + C :P

| Mar 7, 2013 at 23:00 | comment | added | Brendan | @JayC - I've never seen the interrobang glyph in the wild before. And if you read into it, it was never really mainstream anyways, but certainly an interesting footnote to typographic history :) | |
| Mar 7, 2013 at 22:18 | comment | added | JayC | I don't think "interrobang" is nearly extinct. I would expect the usage of "?!" or "!?" to be quite common, and, until now, considered the pair of glyphs as the intended meaning of the word instead of just a typographical representation. Now, the actual interrobang glyph "‽" as explained by Wikipedia... certainly rare. Neither of them I'd say would be "going extinct", as I don't expect the usage of Unicode standards to stop anytime soon. | |
