The Question Exclamation Mark (⁈) is a single typographical character combining a question mark followed by an exclamation point. Originally added to Unicode for compatibility with East Asian vertical text, this ligature ensures both punctuation marks fit neatly into a single character block without breaking alignment. It is frequently used in digital writing to express intense surprise, disbelief, or an urgent rhetorical question.
