2@Hendrik: It's treated by TeX as a ligature. LaTeX defines
\textexclamdown
as alias (in OT1) in ot1enc.def:\DeclareTextCommand{\textexclamdown}{OT1}{!'}

Thanks, now I understand: It's not TeX but depends on the font. Dec 17, 2010 at 19:46

of course it depends on the font! the glyph has to be there, after all. but latex will support \textexclamdown for any font it directly supports (e.g., t1-encoded ones, in which the glyph exists. Mar 7, 2012 at 12:52
