I have made use of the forum software's "censored list" feature, but instead of censoring them to ***** or BLEEP, I'm simply changing them to a scrambled version of the actual word. Because I'm not looking to censor these words -- just make them unreadable to search engines and computer bots. I'm using greek and other foreign letters in such a way that the words can be easily read and understood by humans, but not machines.
For at least the last few years, there's an example of using nonASCII letter glyphs [∆] in a Web-site logo, albeit in this instance, for purely
decorative purposes. Perhaps ironically, it's on a
Novus-Ordo Catholic site [

Her nonASCII letters, which are imbedded in the logo image, and therefore couldn't be shown in the quote above, come from periodic releases of the Unicode
IPA Extensions block, up at U+0250--02AF (in UCS versions 1.00--4.00, thus the glyphs are no more recent than April 2003). These are simply letters from the International Phonetic Alphabet that have been added to the Roman
i.q. Latin Alphabet.
Whether using what is essentially a predefined table look-up of simple
substitution ciphers is effective at confusing
automated scanning by the increasingly aggressive outposts of
cancel culture, depends on how determined they are to ensure that no "deplorable" Web sites can slip past or thro' their nets, and how much effort
they put into processing of text.

Note ∆ :
Glyphs are specific shapes, and different glyphs can be used to represent the same letter, e.g., lower-case ‘A’ as either ‘ɑ’ or ‘a’, for which Greek ‘α’ is a human-recognizable informal substitute. However, IPA uses the 2 l.c.-‘A’
glyphs as different letters, which in this instance, formally signify different vowel sounds, so they are
not merely a single letter displayed in different
fonts. The term
glyph applies to much more than just letters and digits; e.g., each graphic variation of an emoji is a distinct
glyph.
