Letters, numbers and other typographical symbols that talk.

Examples of Talking Typography include:

There was a clay-animated ad for Cadbury's Crunchie bars where a bar turned into the word "Crunchie". The letters didn't talk, though—they just ate each other. Nightmare Fuel?

Fan art and Doujinshi for The Idolmaster frequently portray the "Producer" -- i.e., the player -- as a human with a capital "P" for a head.

Part of the wave of 1980s Transformers knockoffs were a line of letters and numbers that turn into robots. There may not have been a back-story.

Most of the characters in Three in Three, starting with the protagonist, Ms. 3.
The Unown from Pokémon resemble the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet as well as a question mark and an exclamation point, but the only thing they can actually say are their own names.

Adventures in ASCII.
The Perry Bible Fellowship has a typically acerbic twist on this idea.
Penny Arcade has a talking period, correcting trolls and addressing fan outrage. And this.

The children's show Word World has animals that are made of CG letters.
Re Boot featured numerous numerals throughout Mainframe, most prominently 7, 8 and 9.
