there is no more perfect symbol than the interrobang

Traditional chess literature has "!? = questionable move". Is this the same thing?

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It's the interrobang. It literally means "?!" Like WTF?! But in one symbol. It mattered when "cost per letter" or typesetting spacing mattered. I still like it and use it often enough. As for chess, honestly, yeah, it could be used for that.
