cuneiform isnt even that weird,
check out the multiocular O ꙮ
this was only used once in a single cyrillic manuscript to spell "many-eyed seraphim"

And the version of it most apps use doesn't even have enough eyes. The original text (and the updated since Unicode) has 10-eyed O, while most places display 7. Old Cyrillic texts are pretty wild.
