Sorry, no offense intended. I figured this thread was meant to encourage bitching and moaning about the state of typography in the early 21st, and was just doing my best to oblige.
There are several for Linux, but if you are regularly using a special character then you are better off knowing the compose key or alt key combination for it. It will speed up your typing.

I don’t know if that was wise; invoking all and no deities is a surefire way to get no attention, LOTS of attention, or some dastardly mix of the two.

The SarcMark (short for “sarcasm mark”) was invented, copyrighted and trademarked by Paul Sak, and while it hasn’t seen widespread use, Sak markets it as “The official, easy-to-use punctuation mark to emphasize a sarcastic phrase, sentence or message.” Because half the fun of sarcasm is pointing it out…
The Snark Mark
This, like the copyrighted SarcMark, is used to indicate that a sentence should be understood beyond the literal meaning. Unlike the SarcMark, this one is copyright free and easy to type: it’s just a period followed by a tilde.

Pro-tip. If you’re on Windows 10, Win+; or Win+. brings up a charmap window with emoji, kaomoji, and symbols. It’s quite nifty.

It didn’t have any characters beyond “?”?
