Might be fixable in a language with a limited variety of symbols such as a concatenative language, or a somewhat reimagined smalltalk-ish language. Then the few common symbols get assigned to e.g. click consonants.

I'm learning sign-language at the moment (my son is deaf, and we live in Switzerland, so we're learning SDGS [Schweizer Deutsch Gebaerdesprache]) and I believe you could be right on this although I do not know what those particular symbols might be at the moment (subject to further research)

Having also used VR in the mid-90's (Virtuality systems etc), I am pretty excited about the movement in VR (oculus) and AR (meta) at the moment. Interesting times!
