The History of the ¿

Now the history of the ¿ is a simple and interesting thing indeed. It is designed to be an inverted question mark, which can be interpreted as anything, I guess, but truly what is it? Just another ASCII character for people to play with? Or really something for some person with a quirky mind to do a pointless website on just so that they can write an ¿ or the !¿?¡ set of symbols?? Who truly knows?? Muwahahahaha!

In a world where one gets to know more, you must be able to explain to others or yourself why there are so many confusing things out there ... One must try to understand the not understandable ... Once you know more, you know you know less, but you realize that there are a lot of things that will remain unknown as life passes on. It is a tough thing to understand and admit to, but it is less complicated than trying to understand what cannot be understood.

The ¿ can be interpreted by anyone, what they perceive is the reality. I use the word 'meh' when I have to say that something is going over without my control and I cannot help it. Others may interpret the word's use as if to say 'I don't care' or 'I don't know'. It is all one's interpretation. This site is my interpretation of the ¿ usage. I have interpreted it to be a symbol that can be used for a variable, others may use it in another manner.

Anyways, the ¿ is an interesting character to any extent, and is personally my favourite ... (along with being able to write Ben as ßen ... which will actually make it be pronounced as 'Zen' but whatever, it looks cool ...) So the ¿ was invented in 1377 by some German scientist named Hans Zwitter-Weißes who happened to be confused. He wrote down the ? on a piece of paper and happened to be pacing around it when he noticed that his confusion increased when he looked at it upside-down. This is classified as unexplainable confusion. We have used it ever since then as a device to explain something that is a little more severe and unexplained unlike the common ?. (Actually I am just making that up but hey, it was fun while it lasted!)
