...can sombody please give me the shortcut key?
You can find an interrobang in Microsoft Word's Fonts. Go to Format, choose Fonts, then Wingdings 2. You'll find 4 different versions of the interrobang. Hit the ` ~ key, the ] } key, the 6 ^ key, or the - _ key.

The mark was invented by an ad guy. Who knew?!
Also this. There is a beautiful drawing of one there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang
Excerpt:
"The interrobang is not a standard punctuation mark. Few modern typefaces or fonts include an interrobang among the available characters. It is at Unicode code point U+203D. It can be used in HTML documents with ‽ or ‽, although the second form has poor support in common web browsers.
Depending on the browser and which fonts the user has installed, some of these may be displayed. Some of those fonts really do not have interrobang, yet:"
Be sure to read the trivia.
Ok, now this is getting scary:
