Punctuation does not seem so exciting a subject to discuss and write, since it sounds more teacher-like, classroom-like subject. But the subject has surfaced on the Punctuation Day to look at the punctuation marks which are obsolete and no longer used. I've picked an article from the Huffington Post which has the details to tell you about 8 Punctuation marks not in use today.
I'm sure the eight punctuation marks discussed in the article would sound alien to the ears. But still on the Punctuation Day it is important that we pay a tribute to these marks and know how and when they were used.
Here are punctuation marks not in use today: pilcrow, Tironian et, virgule, manicule, percontation mark, interrobang, snark, ironieteken.
In order to discover the symbols used for the words, your are suggested to follow the hyper link in the article. I'm sure authors would like to know how and when these marks were in vague and how they subsided over the course of time.
