sNARK mARK {ironicon} Tile

The percontation point (punctus percontativus), or rhetorical question mark, also known as an ironicon was invented by Henry Denham in the 1580s and was used at the end of a rhetorical question; however, its use died out in the 17th century. It was the reverse of an ordinary question mark, so that instead of the main opening pointing back into the sentence, it opened away from it.
