Why in spanish is there an exclamation mark at the beginning and end of a sentence?

In Spanish, an upside-down exclamation mark (ยก) at the beginning of a sentence is used to indicate an exclamatory sentence.

This is to help the reader anticipate the tone and emphasis of the sentence from the start.
