Er, no, that's not an interrobang. That's a symbol to indicate the font you're using does not have a symbol for an interrobang.

Well that would go a long way to explaining my confusion.

At home I can see a square, here in work I can see a squiggly thing that makes less sense than a square.

I see. Or rather, I don't. Not on either of my machines.

In any event, given that it is a, "rarely used, nonstandard English-language punctuation mark", it's probably best that it isn't used here.

Not that I need to explain my decision, naturally.
