Alt-GR _ (i.e. Right-alt shift hyphen) gives me ¿, and Alt-GR !
(i.e. Right-alt shift 1) gives me ¡ on RedHat 6.2.

Experimentation shows that much of the high-bit set iso-latin1
glyphs are available somewhere with this (ß from Alt-GR s and so
on). 

However, I live inside of Emacs, so C-x 8 (something) is what I
usually use (C-x 8 ? for ¿, C-x 8 ! for ¡)
