Nah. Clearly that would be the sequence:

        U+01C3 LATIN LETTER RETROFLEX CLICK
        U+0294 LATIN LETTER GLOTTAL STOP
        U+0021 EXCLAMATION MARK = bang

which you can emulate in ascii with: !?!

(OTOH, !'! -- ala Hawai'ian -- might look better in ascii....)

U+263A, lest there be any any U+02AD.
