The suggestion is copied to this post for posterity.

Cross-non-words

The challenge here is to produce a crossword wherein some (or all) squares are filled not with typical English alphabet characters, but with something else altogether.

Such a crossword might contain no English alphabet characters at all (e.g. each square instead contains an image, a special character, a number, etc.) or each answer within it features at least one square containing one such alternative... Crucially, no words in the grid should appear fully spelled out with English alphabet characters.

_{Note: This is not merely a repeat of FTC #43: Variety Crossword Grids from November 2020 - here it is the content of the squares wherein the variety lies, as opposed to the structure of the grid...}
