About this character

U+2049 (⁉) is EXCLAMATION QUESTION MARK, a punctuation mark in the General Punctuation block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 3.0 (1999).

Its emoji name (CLDR short name) is “exclamation question mark”, in the Symbols group, subgroup punctuation. By default it is shown as a text glyph; follow it with U+FE0F VARIATION SELECTOR-16 to request the colour emoji form (U+2049 U+FE0F), or with U+FE0E VARIATION SELECTOR-15 to force text style.

It is a compatibility variant of U+0021 ! + U+003F ? (compatibility decomposition <compat>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+0021 ! + U+003F ?. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.
