Inspired by 6rant6’s question about rhetorical questions, I was reading about discarded punctuation marks. Rhetorical was once indicated by a reversed ? mark and I think that’s brilliant in this type-comm day.

The interrobang (‽) seems like an even more useful punctuation in this age of WTF so I wonder why it didn’t catch on? Are there other symbols you wish were on your standard keyboard?
