runes
 pl.n.

    1. Anything that requires heavy wizardry or black art to parse: core
    dumps, JCL commands, APL, or code in a language you haven't a clue how to
    read. Not quite as bad as line noise, but close. Compare casting the
    runes, Great Runes.

    2. Special display characters (for example, the high-half graphics on an
    IBM PC).

    3. [borderline techspeak] 16-bit characters from the Unicode multilingual
    character set.
