The subject of odd punctuations came up the other day. I present for your orthographic diversification:
- Interrobang, ‽ ‽
- Octothorpe is the same thing as the hash (#, #), isn't the same thing as a sharp (♯, ♯), but does have a hilarious backstory.
- The ineffable Grawlixes include the Jarn, Phosphene, Squean, Nittle and Quimp -- they're how cartoon characters swear in print (seen earlier here). They don't, inexcusably, have unicode code points, but the superheroic MarkerMan typeface will do in a pinch.

Wow, way more uncommon orthography here and here.
