* The group Hear'Say. Another reason to hate these talent competition reality shows...
* [[Led Zeppelin]]'s fourth album. The cover has [[No Title]], and the label has four symbols where the title would be, one representing each band member. Since no one can actually pronounce or write those symbols (apart from Jimmy Page's which resembles "Zoso"), it's mostly called ''Led Zeppelin IV''--although some people, misled by Page's symbol, call it "Zoso."
* One of German industrial band [[KMFDM (Music)|KMFDM]]'s albums has a title consisting of a burst, a skull-and-crossbones, a bomb, a spiral, and a banging fist. It's universally called ''[
** One [[Fan Nickname]] for it is "Curse", as it resembles a bleeped swear word. Or you could call it "Bitch", as the cover art shows a man bitchslapping a woman.
** Their latest album, ''Blitz'', has a track with a modified Uranus symbol for it title. In the song, it's pronounced "Up Ur Anus"
Line 185:
** →↑→ or "Tich Tich Tich" were an Australian Underground group of the late 1970s that used this.
* [[Prince]]'s album and film ''Sign '☮' the Times''.
** [[The Trope Formerly Known As X|And his]] [
** Also, starting with ''[[Love Sexy]]'', his song titles replace the word "I" with an icon of an eye.

Line 214:
* Marco V has a song entitled "C:\del * .mp3".
* There exists a rare Devin Townsend EP named ''C:enter:###'' (See colon, enter colon, pound pound pound).

* Panic! At The Disco eventually lost the ! on their second album, Pretty. Odd., citing "too much punctuation".
** Only to find it again after members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker left to form The Young Veins.
Line 314:
* A certain British synth-pop band of the 80s originally was named with an unpronounceable symbol comprised of a spiral leading into an undulating line and ending in a loop. When their label complained about their unpronounceable name, they offered the name Freur.
** Similarly, Part 4 of the "Something at the Bottom of the Sea" suite by the band Quantum Jump is given a squiggly line in lieu of a name for a title.
* [[Gahan Wilson]]'s short story in the ''[[Again, Dangerous Visions]]'' anthology has no title - it's identified by a black blob. (It's ''about'' a black blob, illustrated in the story itself, that grows and grows until...)
* Science fiction magazine ''[[Analog (Magazine)|Analog]]'' was for some time officially known as ''Analog Science Fiction [symbol] Science Fact''. The symbol, resembling a right-pointing arrow superimposed on an inverted U, was invented by editor [[John W Campbell]] to represent "Analogous to".
* ''[[Magic the Gathering]]'' does this a few times. Mostly it's the A-E ligature, such as Æther Storm or Æther Flash. Originally this wasn't possible to print, so Ærathi Berserker is rathi Berserker instead. During the Tempest block, they were also fond of gratuitous use of the italics, such as the ''en''-Kor or the ''il''-Vec.
