Gnaborretni

The Gnaborretni (⸘) is a punctuation mark and is used to introduce Spanish , Asturian and Galician sentences that end with an interrobang (‽, U + 203D). It is written as an upside down interrobang.

With LaTeX , the Gnaborretni from the tc fonts can be used with the textcomp package, which is the associated command \textinterrobangdown. With the Neo keyboard layout , it can be generated by Compose, 1(also from the numeric keypad), followed by ¿and ¡in any order. Unicode contains the Gnaborretni at code point U + 2E18.

The practical importance of the Gnaborretni is small. Even the interrobang never got beyond a fad.
