Please see the Dive Into Python book by Mark Pilgrim for an example usage:
> “Unauthorized‽ Hmmph. Delete this status message, please… http://www.diveintopython3.net/...-services.html
> Four bytes? For every single character‽ http://www.diveintopython3.net/strings.html

It is if you are a typographer, and I am. Someone else can give an alternate translation with different punctuation if they wish, but this is my sentence and i’m sticking by it‼️

Reworded:
This is not a standard punctuation symbol we use in English.
I won't argue this.
I'll just add this sentence to my list of items not to use.

> Don’t be silly.
Very wisely said words. Did you listen to them yourself?

of course not! maybe I should have said ‘don’t be pedantic’, but I don’t follow that advice either.

BUT! if I went around marking every sentence without my preferred punctuation, I would never do anything else in life.

Alternate translation, but it feels more stiff and less conversational.
