Interesting article in the Guardian about bands who use the less common typographic symbols and glyphs from a font family - mostly to evade internet searches. For example - the performa MIA uses the glyph table to create - /\/\/\|/\
Not quite the same as prince using the squiggle symbol - many typestters within the industry craeted that as a glyph fairly early on, and the band Underwoeld used a hieroglyph in an earlier incarnation back in the '80s.
You can check any glyph family in CS by using the 'show glyphs' command from the navigation bar when in text mode.
