An exclamation mark in texting is the punctuation equivalent of turning up the volume — think 🥳❗ for party vibes or 😋❗ when you’re playfully excited. It adds punch after a cool 😎 or a warm 🤗, making the feeling unmistakable. Use 😮✨❗ to show surprise with a sparkle or 😅❗😅 when you’re nervously amused. It’s the digital way to say, “Hey, listen!” without actually saying it.
