Unicode Exclamation Symbols and Common Usage

Exclamation symbols are encoded in Unicode so they can be copied and pasted as text across many operating systems, browsers, and applications. Unicode assigns each character a code point and name, which helps keep punctuation (including stylized and emoji-like exclamation marks) consistent and portable between platforms, although the visual style may vary by font.
