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
