Double Exclamation Mark Alt Code and Symbol

The Alt code for Double Exclamation Mark is 19. Hold Alt, type 19 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. Double Exclamation Mark also has the Unicode codepoint U+203C, so you can type it with Alt+8252 on Windows, search for U+203C in macOS's Character Viewer, use ‼ in HTML, or \203C in CSS. If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly — the Alt key method requires a physical numpad. The code comes from the OEM console picture table, so the ‼ picture appears only when an OEM raster font is active; in a modern application using a TrueType font the same keystroke may insert nothing visible or a control character. Double Exclamation Mark has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ‼ or the hex escape ‼.
