I refer those interested in this topic to the INTERCAL character naming conventions, now hallowed by tradition and skirting the edge of madness.

Nobody uses them, except to point out how silly INTERCAL is. And rightly so, since INTERCAL was created to be unusable. However, there are a couple that, despite the INTERCAL authors' best efforts, have entered common usage, according to the chart: "mesh" and "splat".
