- spelufo 3mo agodo you really think so?! I think bang-interro just didn't sound as nice and that's probably why it is called an interrobang.
- egypturnash 3mo agoNo, it should be rendered with the proper Unicode: U+203D ‽
- zamadatix 3mo agoThere isn't a "correct" way to incorrectly render the interrobang as 2 separate characters. The name was never supposed to suggest a certain ordering instead of just being both at the same time. The name "interrobang" just sounded better than "exclamaquest" (or any of the alternatives Type Talks readers submitted).
- bobson381 3mo agoHuh, interesting. I retract my previous statement! I'd love to read about this if you have a source.
