As a daily user of the interrobang, I’ve just gotta say, how awesome is this‽
For any aspiring interrobangers, one thing that helps make them easier to use is to set up text replacements. I have replacements setup on my phone and computers to replace “?!” and “!?” with “‽” automatically.
- jobigoud 8y agoFor me "!?" means astonishment to the point of questioning, like "WTF!?", whereas "?!" is questioning emphasis, as if a meta exclamation would be applied to the entire question before it. "What are you gonna do now?!"
- falcor84 8y agoI usually consider them as applied one after the other: ?! is about first questioning and then usually being angry. !? is about first having strong feelings and then questioning their origins. So for me WTF would usually be followed by ?! but maybe it's just me.
- kungtotte 8y agoWTF is an interesting case because it can express both versions. WTF?! with an emphasis on the question means you lack information about the subject, WTF!? with an emphasis on the exclamation means you know what occurred but you're expressing shock/outrage. E.g. the first version is "I don't know what just happened" and the second is "I can't believe what just happened". With an interrobang there's no way of expressing both versions.
- corobo 8y agoHonestly it looks too bold (as in, font weight) than the rest of the text. Just realising I'm not a fan
- Faaak 8y agoAre you not a fan of the font, or of the character ?
- Sharlin 8y agoIt would need some typographical refinement in many fonts where it's currently not much more than superimposed ! and ?, making the bowl especially too tight. But in some fonts it's rather well designed and aesthetically pleasing.
- pwelch 8y agoI’ve done the same thing! It’s awesome.
