    I mean I can barely remember and hate using /s. at least it annoys me that things which to me is obviously sarcasm, cannot be seen as such on the internet. granted when hanging out and being sarcastic it was sometimes a win to get the double take or eh response.

    It is common in online conversation among some Internet users to use a fictitious closing tag patterned after HTML: </sarcasm>. Over time, it has evolved to lose the angle brackets (/sarcasm) and has subsequently been shortened to /sarc or /s (not to be confused with the valid HTML end tag </s> used to end a struck-through passage).[20] Users of the website Reddit frequently denote sarcasm through the use of /s, as shorthand.[21] This usage later evolved into tone indicators.

    Wow, I didn’t know the /s had an origin story. Pretty cool.

    The irony of having to explain your sarcasm punctuation after using sarcasm and punctuating it in way nobody understands.

    That backwards questionmark doesn’t work. I’m only seeing a square. But now that I’ve copied your text I’m seeing it in the quote. Weird.

      Maybe it’s the backticks? For me, it works both on Firefox Linux desktop and Firefox Android.

      Unicode as (⸮) U+2E2E.[*] It can also be represented by the similar Arabic question mark U+061F (؟)
