Asmus ~ if you include any symbol character "expressed as a discrete
unit in inline text" then pretty well every symbol or dingbat in
Microsoft's WingDings font is sometimes used that way - and some Tibetan
texts are littered with chunks of in line "Dakini script" of which there
may be something like 100 different kinds.
