The interrobang is a single punctuation meant to take the place of two others. It is used in sentences that would normally end in both a question mark and an exclamation point. Most people are not even sure how to call it up in a document, but...
- via Wingdings 2 font: the }] key.
- HTML: & # 8 2 5 3 ; (spaces added for demonstration purposes)
- Unicode: U+203D

Usage in Popular Superhero Culture
According to the chroniclers at Keeferman.net:
An interrobang is a form of punctuation. It's the best form really. Some say it's what gives Keeferman his power. It's a combination questionmark/exclamationpoint. These days it seems almost a secret. Keeferman is bringing it back though. All those sarcastic comments and facetious questions that you didn't know how to punctuate? They take the interrobang.
