@11011110 At least these symbols have a meaning! But nobody knows what “Angzarr” (⍼) is and why it is in Unicode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angzarr).
For any typesetting and/or unicode nerds:

Did you know that „⍼“ (the #angzarr) is a #Unicode code point nobody knows the origin of?

⍼ FEELING RATHER #ANGZARR TODAY, FOLKS ⍼
Love this modern day geeky #Unicode #mystery: no one knows where the character "⍼" (right angle with downwards zigzag arrow, #angzarr) came from or what it means.

It's just been passed forwards in time, from standard to standard. I wonder how many other such characters exist, or will exist in the future as their past is lost to time.
