A sentence ending with an interrobang states a question in an excited manner, expresses excitement, disbelief, or confusion in the form of a question, or asks a rhetorical question.

For example:

You call that a hat‽
Are you out of your mind‽
Your dog ate what‽
Are you a dummy‽

Digitally it’s hard to see the interrobang as the exclamation mark part is mostly obscured. Better to type the symbols side by side honestly, unless you’re going for subtlety.
