A sarcasm mark or sarcasm point identifies text as being derogatory or ironic. Although a sarcasm mark exists in the Ethiopic languages,[1] (an inverted exclamation mark used at the end of sentences) it is not a standard form of punctuation in English. If a mark for such a purpose were proposed and became widely accepted, it would serve a similar purpose to the French irony mark in helping the reader to identify and interpret specific types of non-literal language.
