You already have the Generation 1 ones but Pokémon added quite a few interesting characters since then.

There are also "bag item" symbols which can't be typed in game but are instead used for in game text and the bag.

Nintendo Consoles also include a font containing UI elements and button prompts from the DS to the Switch. Most interestingly the Pictochat logo
