Unicode letters with more than 1 alphabetic latin character?

Question

I'm not really sure how to express it but I'm searching for unicode letters which are more than one visual latin letter.

I found this in Word so far:

Ǳ
ǲ
ǳ
Ǌ
ǈ
Ǉ
ǋ
ǌ

Any others?

Here are some of the characters I've found. I'd first done this manually by looking at some probable blocks. However I've later written a Python script to do this automatically that you can find at the end of this answer

There are a few other ligatures that are used for phonetic transcription but looks like Latin characters

Edit:

There are more letterlike symbols beside ℻ and ℡ like what the OP found in the comment:

℀ ℁ ⅍ ℅ ℆ ℔ ℠ ™

Longer letters are mainly from the CJK Compatibility block

U+XXXX	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	A	B	C	D	E	F
U+338x	㎀	㎁	㎂	㎃	㎄	㎅	㎆	㎇	㎈	㎉	㎊	㎋	㎌	㎍	㎎	㎏
U+339x	㎐	㎑	㎒	㎓	㎔	㎕	㎖	㎗	㎘	㎙	㎚	㎛	㎜	㎝	㎞	㎟
U+33Ax	㎠	㎡	㎢	㎣	㎤	㎥	㎦	㎧	㎨	㎩	㎪	㎫	㎬	㎭	㎮	㎯
U+33Bx	㎰	㎱	㎲	㎳	㎴	㎵	㎶	㎷	㎸	㎹	㎺	㎻	㎼	㎽	㎾	㎿
U+33Cx	㏀	㏁	㏂	㏃	㏄	㏅	㏆	㏇	㏈	㏉	㏊	㏋	㏌	㏍	㏎	㏏
U+33Dx	㏐	㏑	㏒	㏓	㏔	㏕	㏖	㏗	㏘	㏙	㏚	㏛	㏜	㏝	㏞	㏟

Among the 3-letter-like symbols are ㎈㎑㎒㎓㎔㏒㏕㏖㏙㎪㎫㎬㎭㏆㏿㍱... Probably the ones with most characters are ㎉ and ㎯

Unicode even have codepoints for Roman numerals. Here another 4-letter-like character can be found: Ⅷ

U+XXXX	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	A	B	C	D	E	F
U+215x	⅐	⅑	⅒	⅓	⅔	⅕	⅖	⅗	⅘	⅙	⅚	⅛	⅜	⅝	⅞	⅟
U+216x	Ⅰ	Ⅱ	Ⅲ	Ⅳ	Ⅴ	Ⅵ	Ⅶ	Ⅷ	Ⅸ	Ⅹ	Ⅺ	Ⅻ	Ⅼ	Ⅽ	Ⅾ	Ⅿ
U+217x	ⅰ	ⅱ	ⅲ	ⅳ	ⅴ	ⅵ	ⅶ	ⅷ	ⅸ	ⅹ	ⅺ	ⅻ	ⅼ	ⅽ	ⅾ	ⅿ
U+218x	ↀ	ↁ	ↂ	Ↄ	ↄ	ↅ	ↆ	ↇ	ↈ	↉	↊	↋

If normal numbers can be considered then there are some other code points for multiple digits like ⒆ ⒇ ⓳ ⓴ in enclosed alphanumerics

U+XXXX	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	A	B	C	D	E	F
U+246x	①	②	③	④	⑤	⑥	⑦	⑧	⑨	⑩	⑪	⑫	⑬	⑭	⑮	⑯

U+248x	⒀	⒁	⒂	⒃	⒄	⒅	⒆	⒇	⒈	⒉	⒊	⒋	⒌	⒍	⒎	⒏

U+24Ex	ⓠ	ⓡ	ⓢ	ⓣ	ⓤ	ⓥ	ⓦ	ⓧ	ⓨ	ⓩ	⓪	⓫	⓬	⓭	⓮	⓯
U+24Fx	⓰	⓱	⓲	⓳	⓴	⓵	⓶	⓷	⓸	⓹	⓺	⓻	⓼	⓽	⓾	⓿

and in Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement

🅫, 🅪, 🆋, 🆌, 🆍, 🄭, 🄮, 🅊, 🅋, 🅌, 🅍, 🅎, 🅏

A few more:

And there are the emojis 🔟 💤🆔🚾🆖🆗🔢🔡🔠 💯🆘🆎🆑™🔙🔚🔜🔝🔛📆🗓🔞

Vertical bars may be considered uppercase i or lowercase L (like your 〷 example which is actually the TELEGRAPH LINE FEED SEPARATOR SYMBOL) and we have

Here's the automatic script to find the multi-character letters

import unicodedata

for c in range(0, 0x10FFFF + 1):
    d = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', chr(c))
    if len(d) > 1 and d.isascii() and d.isalpha():
        print("U+%04X (%s): %s
" % (c, chr(c), d))

It won't be able to find many ligatures like æ or œ because they're not considered orthographic ligatures and aren't decomposable in Unicode. Here's the result in Unicode 11.0.0 (checked with unicodedata.unidata_version)
