And if that's not enough, you just straight up make up new symbols, like Nabla

Ah yes, because other science fields like linguistics would never just grab random letters and turn them upside down to repurpose them!

Any upsidedown A in the set of all real characters used in academia would immediately illicit mathematical memories.

Did you mean ALL the upside up A?

Nope, it means "for any" as in no matter which one you choose it will be correct.
