It may have some contextual meaning.
I said "strange" in the sense of character sequences that are not part of the ordinary spelling of any language. In fact, a thing like a matra floating in the air or on a dotted circle is something that you'd only see in a text (not necessarily *in* an Indian language) which talks about spelling, character sets, and the like. > Also, what is good or bad is also subjective.
