U+2048 Question Exclamation Mark
U+2048 was added in Unicode version 3.0 in 1999. It belongs to the block General Punctuation in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Punctuation and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.
The glyph is a compatibility composition of the glyphs Question Mark, Exclamation Mark. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. It can end sentences at appropriate places. U+2048 prohibits line breaks before its position. There might be some exceptions, though. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The interrobang (), also known as the interabang ‽ (often represented by any of the following: ?!, !?, ?!?,?!!, !?? or !?!), is an unconventional punctuation mark intended to combine the functions of the question mark (also known as the interrogative point) and the exclamation mark (also known in the jargon of printers and programmers as a "bang"). The glyph is a ligature of these two marks and was first proposed in 1962 by Martin K. Speckter.
