A spectre is haunting Unicode
Is anyone using these characters now for anything? No youth language or online slang using it?

There's some fan fiction that treats the characters as names of ghosts and comes up with back stories and visualizations for them (the article links to a compilation, but it's 403ing for me). Nothing mainstream though.

It's something! I propose that the first 4 of those characters should in English be called Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde.
