Apologies for replying so far into the future, but your enthusiasm for the interrobang reminded me of a similar experience I had: The irony mark. Unfortunately it was never adopted outside of small circles, and never got the love it deserved, along with these gents.
The non-use of these symbols in a modern context, along with dingbats and dinkuses has led to countless frustration for me.
There was so much more life to this beautiful language I love, but simplification for the sake of standardization has ruined us. I went so far as to make my own dingbats for my Obsidian MD vaults, but Samsung withdrew unicode support for a lot of the unicode libraries, and didn't give access to add them back in their latest phones.
I'm stuck using Alchemical Symbols to depict tone and notation in my personal notes, which makes me feel like a wizard, but makes me look like a loon.
No apology necessary and I thank you for sharing, hadn't heard about irony marks (or the others mentioned in the links). Being that I do most of my typing/replying on PC, these are easy to find...

edit: Oh no! They're svg files and not actual unicode I can just throw into a reply. Sadness overwhelms me.
Edit: To add, this is my favorite resource for unicode charts. Keep in mind that some charts have been turned into emojis, such as Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs. These were my thoughts as...

These were my thoughts as well when I first discovered that better punctuation existed, but I basically couldn't use it.
Here, have a rhetorical question mark '⸮' (reverse question mark) to ease your suffering.
'🝳' I use alchemical half ounce as an expression of Doubt. Multiple contexts for use.
In the past I've used '⧙–⦚' or '⧛–⧚' to replace the SpongeBob meme talk, or denote heavy sarcasm. So instead of:
"dOnT wAlK bArEfOoT oN hArDwOoD fLoOrS", it's just "⧛Don't walk barefoot on hardwood floors.⧚"
Just some considerations. These used are not official or even used by a group of people, it's just me and those struggling in their want to understand me.
I had never heard of dinkuses, that was a very fun rabbit-hole to descend into. I also hadn't realized there was such a rich history to dingbats. Thanks for sharing!

Never really caught on‽

I'll have you know there are dozens of us! DOZENS!

As far as the rest goes, I substitute with alchemical symbols or mathematical sumbols. I've never had issues with double meanings using alchemy, yet.

I've just started the video, but are we talking about the interrobang‽
Because I love the interrobang!
Did he just...?
