About this character

U+00A1 (¡) is INVERTED EXCLAMATION MARK, a punctuation mark in the Latin-1 Supplement block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

Its East Asian Width is Ambiguous: it takes one column in Western contexts and two in East Asian legacy contexts, a common cause of misaligned tables in terminals.
