Tie
-
I'm trying to decide which is the stranger punctuation mark, but so far it's a tie. Which do you think is stranger‽:
- ⁀ (Tie)
- ⁂ (Asterism)
Any other strange punctuation marks or symbols you know of?

Isn't that a musical tie (the joining notes variety, not the horrible piano key adorned menswear variety)?

⁂ (Asterism) Just for the name, I vote the second. Sounds like a condition, like the neighbor kid has Asterism. :(

The tie should only be referred to as the mustache.

It's actually an astronomy term. Means a small, (relatively) well-known subset of a constellation. i.e. The Big Dipper is an asterism, Ursa Major is its constellation.

I wonder if anybody noticed the interrobang in my original post. That has been my favorite for some time as well. :)
