An exclamation point! The (English) punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings, high volume or shouting, and often marks the end of a sentence. Used commonly as a symbol referring to surprise in many mediums. [!]

Note that this tag is intended for the symbol. If an exclamation mark appears with text, that should be tagged as exclamation instead of !, unless it can be considered a sound effect, in such a case use emphatic sound effects instead.
