There is a prevailing idea, among writers I've asked about the order of interrobangs, that the sentence's nature as a question is already determined before the punctuation, therefore "!?" does not diminish the question.


I don't know why anyone would add an emphasis only to undercut it in the next mark, so I've never thought "!?" has any validity.ĮDIT: There appear to be no sources published about this - interrobangs are extremely unexplored territory - so I can only refer to the structure of written English for my reasoning.
