Real or not the Sarcmarc would help sooo much.
Don't people already use /s for this?
They do and I think its an argument for the sarcmark.

Re: A collection of non-standard punctuation marks
#32I've seen these "non-standard" ones in practice:
?! - Shock and confusion "Apple did what?!"
/s - Sarcasm "wow, I'm happy /s"
(?) - Doubt "I think Mark said we was done (?)"

#33What can this do that emojis can't?
Be more precise. Emojis are ambiguous, especially cross-culturally.

#35Cool ideas, would love to see more... but this site itself seems unfortunately over-designed to me. It's a slideshow-style listicle (These 10 Punctuation Marks Will Blow Your Mind!), forces you to click to the next one, and makes you scroll to see an example usage for each punctuation mark.
The idea is very interesting, but the animation is too much. I had to close it.

The interrobang is real, but that's the only one I think.
It's not real. The symbol might be attributed some meaning, but it's not real punctuation and definitely shouldn't be.
It's been in use for about a half century; it's typically described as “nonstandard”, though given the absence of a standards body for English it's not clear what that means.
It's definitely “real” in the sense of being in actual use in the wild with a clear and well-understood meaning.

#37I occasionally use interrobang (?! - not sure if there is a unicode character), but the rest seem quite useless. Also, this site doesn't let you copy text...WTF developers?
I'd use a question comma, there are often times where I'll phrase a question and then expound on some deeper specifics - generally things that I would consider implied, but that many people would miss, leading to the misinterpretation of the question.
Essentially everything (for me, at least) after the question comma is generally parenthetic in nature.

#38Why won't this scroll? Page doesn't work really on my iPhone 6se.
It does some weird parallax-effect when scrolling, which I assume uses JavaScript, so if that has some error in it somewhere, it's possible that it breaks scrolling completely.

Yeah, there is a unicode character: ‽

There is ‽ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang
> this site doesn't let you copy text
Being generous here, presumably people still pull this kind of ridiculous crap to prevent uninformed users from "stealing" their IP. I guess they must be smart enough to know that if it's rendering as text, anyone can access and copy it.
