Many math papers do use weird LaTeX characters [1], for example Halloweenmath [2]. And even though it does not look like there is a shortage of symbols for writing math, emoji can be used too, just be tasteful about it.

If anyone writes a (sci-fi) novel and needs a fictional currency, some of those characters could be useful as an unit symbol.

Or go back in history I suppose (𐆖, 𐆗, ₶):

Yeah, there is a lot of interesting symbols to use.
