definition of interrobang
noun
a punctuation mark that consists of a question mark and an exclamation mark together (?!), used to express great surprise, or a question being asked in an excited manner
Piekos explains such details as when to use lowercase, how to convey “off-camera” speech, and in what order to place the marks in an interrobang (!? or ?! – “It’s a loose rule that the question mark should come first”).
