Another famous one is Prince's "Love Symbol no 2".
Fun fact: he adopted it as his stage name to spite Warner Brothers Music, due to the unfavorable contract terms and the creative meddling they kept doing (among other things). By terms of the contract they had to go along with whatever stage name he picked. They had to spend a bunch of money having a custom font created, then mailed on floppy disk to every music reviewer, newspaper, magazine, radio station, etc as part of album promotion. No one was on the internet in those days so it ended up causing them a lot of trouble. I guess he found his own loophole in the contract.
