The Exclamation Question Mark (⁉) combines an exclamation point and a question mark into a single typographical glyph. It functions similarly to the interrobang, denoting a question asked with extreme surprise, emphasis, or volume. In modern texting and social media, people use this symbol to express shock, dramatic disbelief, or an urgent inquiry.
