What ⁉️ means

An exclamation mark and a question mark side by side. It means shock and disbelief at once: “WHAT⁉️”.

People send ⁉️ when news is so surprising they need it confirmed, or when something is outrageous. It can be playful or truly alarmed, depending on what comes before it. 🤨 and 😳 often follow.

People often call it an interrobang, but the true interrobang is the single fused mark ‽.
