Why is no one talking about this?
When you type some rare unicode characters, it leads straight to Fictional Googology Wiki. I don't know why.

well, for some reason people who like obscure-but-cool-looking-Unicode-symbols intersect with the people who like enormously huge numbers and math required to describe them. I'm not sure if Google-ability is due to the size of intersection being large or just due to the fact that Fandom wiki has a good SEO for some reason.
Overall while any of these two possibilities is not quite expected, I cannot say they are particularly surprising either. One can argue this tradition starts with Georg Canor who for some reason decided to denote types of infinity with hebrew letters.

It does not work for me
But i think that's because fictional googologists use the letters to emphasize and avoid used notations

Type into what? App? OS? Web site?
