The ππ¨π₯π, ππ‘ππππ, ππ π¦πππ π€π₯π£π¦ππ, and ππ©ππ π¨π©π’π±π±π’π― gylphs are in Unicode for mathematics, where the style of glyphs is not a merely stylistic choice but is part of their meaning.
e.g.
β denotes the set of real numbers, whilst R denotes the gas constant. π would by convention be the name of some matrix.
ln is the natural logarithm, ππ is the product of π and π. (Only a monster would actually write ln ππ, though.)
I don't know why the consortium chose to include these glyphs rather than push it out to markup languages, though.
