Arabic "!"

Despite arabic has a mirrored "?", then why there is no variation for arabic "!"? I think this such an odd thing to explore some of trivial stuff. Correct me if i am wrong . 2404:8000:1027:85F6:2981:C491:8BDE:92FA (talk) 09:16, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The exclamation mark is verically symmetric, so it's not necessary for it to be mirrored, unlike the question mark. Jan Eten (talk) 02:57, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of ðe diagonal exclamation mark?

In some Japanese media, such as dialog boxes in the game Super Mario World, exclamation points are written diagonally (visually like .ᐟ). I am gobsmacked at the lack of mention of the diagonal variant. Jan Eten (talk) 03:01, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So find a reliable source that says it has wider use and then go ahead and add it, citing that source. [Note that examples of use are not valid citations.]

But on the face of it, it seems to be artistic licence or perhaps a kind of emoticon. Manga has always played around with typography. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
