iPad/pencil Script conversion to text

How do I get the iPad to recognize an exclamation point as I write? The iPad converts my script “!” to a typed capital I or a 1 or a 1. (Number plus punctuation). Is it impossible?

Yes.

When you write the Exclamation point make a prominent dot below the vertical line.

Not just a tiny dot but scribble in a much larger, prominent dot below the vertical lne.

That should get you a text converted exclamation point.
