It's a neat little mark but I don't think it has much of a chance being widespread because I think ?! has already won in real usage and doesn't have the fine detail problem. I think it has a better chance of becoming an official grammatical digraph than the merged mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||

I don't think it has much of a chance being widespread I first heard of it back when Usenet was still the hotness. Apparently it's been around for close to a century, so if it hasn't caught on widely by now, you're probably right. | ||||||||||||||||||||

It lost when computers overtook typewriters. On a typewriter, you could type one punctuation mark, backspace, and then type another. Even once computers added the interrobang to Unicode (or older systems), you either need to type in a numeric code, use a secret bucky bit, or select it from a graphical UI, none of which is worth it for more than the odd weirdo with a whimsical streak. | ||||||||||||||||||||
