    The interrobang is purportedly for indicating sarcasm, though I and other people generally only use it as a silly “?!” ligature.

    Personally, I still believe that if satire can’t be detected, either it’s shitty satire, or your audience is too dense to understand it even if they recognized it.

      I can’t seem to find anything about it being used to indicate sarcasm at all, only as an exclaimed question to express surprise, and is the same thing as the symbols next to each other as you used in example.
