There's quite a lot written abot the interrobang on the Web, as you can
see by Googling a bit. For example
http://www.worldwidewords.org/weirdwords/ww-int1.htm
contains a short history of this rather new character. It is of course
"standard" in the sense of being present in Unicode, but it is not
standard punctuation. (And it probably and hopefully never will.
It has no benefits over using "?!" or "!?".) But it's character that has
been used in texts, so it has a place in Unicode.
