ASCII runes are an important component of the hoon programming language. They replace the awkward practice of using keywords.
Table of Glyphs

Two glyphs make a digraph. For instance +:
is a digraph pronounced as lus-col.
This is the decrement function written in hoon.
++ dec ~/ %dec |= a=@ ^- @ ?< =(0 a) =+ b=@ |- ?: =(a +(b)) b $(b +(b))
When translated, this becomes "luslus dec sigfas cen dec bartis a tis pat sigbar soq dec soq ketcab pat wutgal tis pel zero a per tislus b tis pat barhep wutcol tis pel a lus pel b per per b buc pel b lus pel b per per", which is far simpler.
