== Examples of use == The [[State Library of New South Wales]], in Australia, uses an interrobang as its logo,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-11-11|title=State Library {{!}}New South Wales |url=https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/welcome |access-date=2022-01-08 |website=State Library of NSW |archive-date=January 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220108134736/https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/welcome|url-status=live}}</ref> as does the educational publishing company [[Pearson PLC|Pearson]], which thus intends to convey "the excitement and fun of learning".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pearson.com/content/dam/corporate/global/pearson-dot-com-v2/files/logos/Pearson_Guidelines_Logo.pdf|title=Pearson Brand Guidelines: Logo|date=2016|publisher=Pearson.com|access-date=July 13, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312102802/https://www.pearson.com/content/dam/corporate/global/pearson-dot-com-v2/files/logos/Pearson_Guidelines_Logo.pdf|archive-date=March 12, 2016|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The logo of the [[National Endowment for the Humanities]] incorporates eight exclamation marks and eight question marks; although their main strokes are separate, they all share the same dot, as in some variants of interrobangs. Chief Judge [[Frank H. Easterbrook]] used an interrobang in the 2012 [[United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit|United States Seventh Circuit]] opinion ''Robert F. Booth Trust v. Crowley''.<ref name="99pi 2018" /><ref name="Easterbrook 2012" /> [[Australian Federal Court]] Justice Michael Wigney used an interrobang in the first paragraph of his 2018 judgment in ''Faruqi v Latham [2018] FCA 1328'' (defamation proceedings between former Federal Opposition Leader Mark Latham and political campaigner and writer Osman Faruqi).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Judgments/fca/single/2018/2018fca1328|title=Faruqi v Latham [2018] FCA 1328|website=www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au|access-date=September 16, 2020|archive-date=January 25, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220125084312/https://www.judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Judgments/fca/single/2018/2018fca1328|url-status=live}}</ref> In [[chess]], an interrobang is used to represent a dubious move, one that is questionable but possibly has merits.<ref name="CI14">{{cite book |editor-link=Aleksandar Matanović |editor-last=Matanović |editor-first=Aleksander |title=Šahovski Informator |trans-title=Chess Informant |volume=14 |pages=8–9 |year=1973 |location=Belgrade}}</ref> (See also the [[Chess annotation symbols#Evaluation symbols|evaluation symbols]] ?!
