- U+00A9 © COPYRIGHT SIGN
- U+00AE ® REGISTERED SIGN
- U+2117 ℗ SOUND RECORDING COPYRIGHT
- U+2120 ℠ SERVICE MARK
- U+2122 ™ TRADE MARK SIGN
- Footnote symbols and related requested to be sideways, due to being more commonly Western. (Also: asterisk (*) is sideways by default, double vertical line (‖) is drawn rotated by vertical fonts, and section (§) is used with numbers, which are usually sideways.)
- U+00A7 § SECTION SIGN
- U+00B6 ¶ PILCROW SIGN
- U+2016 ‖ DOUBLE VERTICAL LINE

- U+2021 ‡ DOUBLE DAGGER
- U+2042 ⁂ ASTERISM
- U+2051 ⁑ TWO ASTERISKS ALIGNED VERTICALLY

- U+2030 ‰ PER MILLE
- U+2031 ‱ PER TEN THOUSANDS
- Interrobang requested to be sideways because originated in Western typography and uncommon in East Asian
- U+203D ‽ INTERROBANG
- Musical symbols (U+1D000–U+1D1FF) requested be sideways because proportional, see Forum post
- Canadian Syllabics (U+1401–U+167F,U+18B0–U+18FF) requested to be sideways because this appears to be a UTR50 error.
