It might be fun to do something like this with Chinese characters - similarly compact, but less visually noisy, more obvious to a Chinese or Japanese speaker, and more expressive due to having many more characters to serve as variable names.

Neat. Any reason not to use 0️⃣1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣8️⃣9️⃣?

In order to avoid aving to put ugly digits in the middle of the code, I suggest removing their support and using instead a single instruction to put 1 on the stack. By using numerical operators, it becomes easy to have any number (1 1 + 1 - would be one, 1 1 + would be two, 1 1 + 1 + would be three).

Also, the multiplication operator appears blank here.

I'm confused as to why they use 'real' digits rather than the emoji keycaps like 1️⃣2️⃣9️⃣. Bonus points for representing 🔟 in a single character.

I wonder if there's a programming language that makes a program look like a poem or a regular article?
