Your mark shows like a simple, everyday "i"⸮

Amen to that.

In my opinion, irony is in the eye of the beholder based on the content. It doesn't need a mark any more than you need a joke mark. If it's not funny, the mark doesn't change that. Same with irony.

A sarcasm mark, on the other hand, sounds really useful. It's a legitimate problem than the reader may not understand that the author is being sarcastic without a helpful and explicit clue. Some people such as my grandmother don't "get" sarcasm and this would alert them.

Other than copy-and-paste, I'm not sure how to get a "⸮" on my keyboard.

 

Hmmm...left handed question mark. I'll file that right next to, "octothorpe".

Unfortunately, Apple ipad does not have that printable character in their set yet.

Octothorpe ........

Finally, someone used the proper name of the symbol that starts your name.

In spanish that word sounds like "eight times as clumsy"... ha ha ha...

Oops, supposed to be an inverted ! mark

Now I get it... I didn't understand it at first because I too couldn't see that character in my screen...
But ¡Hey! ... ¿Didn't you guys know that in spanish, at least, you're supposed to use both an opening and a closing punctuation mark when writing questions or exclamations?
That way the reader can more easily properly intone the phrase he's reading before he starts reading it.

That was HP...about a month ago.

How do you get that symbol on a lappie with no numeric keypad?

 

On my Mac, this character ⸮ displays fine (mirror image of question mark) and is a member of the Menlo and Geneva font sets. However I still can't find it in character or keyboard maps.

 

I just see a box.. How ironic

So do I... wonder if it has to do with my browser's character settings?

 

Same here, a box.
