BTW, if you see ⸮ in my posts, that's because I'm aware I'm making a post that MIGHT NOT BE OBVIOUS that it's humorous or sarcastic to some readers. (I will not always mark my humor/sarcasm.) In other words, it's similar to /s, but a bit broader. And there's a character for it!

Read up on "Irony punctuation"! It has a history! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony_pu
