My favorite language choices for strange characters would APL and FORTH. I'm
sure APL used at least 255 different characters, and in Forth, anything but
a space can be used!

: # * ?DUP + ;

This is a valid FORTH definition for a function called "#" that multiplies
two numbers together, and if the result isn't zero, adds a third number.
