The point is that piece labels never have to have non-alpha characters, because you can always make a set that assigns whatever piece images you want to entirely alphabetic notation. The use of non-alphabetic notation is an artifact of one set trying to include way more than 26 pieces. It is not an inherent quality of the pieces that the alfaerie-many set used non-alphabetic characters in its notation. They are just images assigned to particular notation by a set file.
