Letter-Like Symbols

This is the second part in my series on things that look like letters, but are not quite letters. I am not talking about post cards. I am talking about letters of the alphabet.

MacOS has a short list of letterlike symbols, and wordwall.net has a larger list, which is alphabetical. (Or would be, if every element in their list was actually a letter, which is not the case.)

Which begs the question about why Apple curated their collection down to just 26 symbols and wordwall.net accepted everything, including non-English language letters which do not look like English letters.

Wordwall.net has alphabetized their letterlike symbols, which is kind of fun.

What can you find in the wordwall.net symbols? I see a Hebrew alef, bet, gimmel and dalet, as well as a Greek sigma and pi.

Is that an upside-down ampersand?!
