I have seen {'I'}. It means "armpit." It was added by MO about a year ago.
BTW, even Chinese has a "spelling" system. I imagine Klingon has
pronunciations for the letters; we just have not been taught them yet. In
Chinese we spell "words" by describing their parts and location of those
parts. We start by saying which of the 218 radicals (character
classification topicalizers) heads the character. Then we add the sound part
of the character. Each sound has a popular name, too.
