That is, instead of the "." on the >> bottom of a "!", it has a "," instead. That reminds me of my father's old typwriter, wich lacked a "!" on the keyboard -- a major mystery for a six year old wannabe typographer. He enventually disclosed that it should be composed as period + backspace + apostrophe (or inversely). Of course making your exclomma with that method would be trivial. :-) >> Is there such a Unicode code point? Nope.

You can "compose" the *glyph" in a number of ways (U+007C U+0326 is one) but it would always be a kludge. -- ____.
