I think that's the main one for C/C++, although I do believe there are one or two other triggers. I don't think it matters too much though, it's very rare for someone to use {} in ordinary text, and...

I suppose you could, but up until now most (all?) fonts have not been created using AI. It's just not necessary.

It isn't. There is no text in an image. It's just part of the image.
