Bring back the Interrobang‽
The interrobang was a short-lived fad of the 1960s. Since it does have a unicode representation, and some fonts now include it, is the time ripe to start using it again?

Ups, my first thinking was: what kind of a strange typo did Paul create here? How did he make it? Never've seen this char before, thanks for sharing (I often do use "!?" or "?!")

Beaten to the punch, but whatever.

Are you insane?!?

I like the flexibility of ?!? or !?! which let's me scream less or more loudly.

I think the compound punctuation used in chess notation translates well.

?? = What in the wide wide world of sports is going on here?
?! = I find your statement to be dubious, but not entirely insane.
!? = Interesting, but not convincing
