Reintroduction of the interrobang ‽

Of course, there is also the SarcMark, which is a more recent attempt at providing a sarcasm specific bit of punctuation: https://www.sarcmark.com/

I like the older version. It's already in the Unicode, anyway, so let's make it easier to use and make it happen!

I was gonna add the irony mark as well , but couldn't find the Unicode for it.. I guess you did.. 
Maybe we need a new "duh" mark for the Mike Brown's of the world..
