[vhapeeji] LaTeX CAPTCHA

Consider a CAPTCHA asking users to read and transcribe printed mathematical notation into a language such as LaTEX or Mathematica.

Mathematics is a two dimensional language, so perhaps difficult for OCR.  Are there other two-dimensional languages many people would likely know, for which there is a standard "typed" form?

Maybe music, but that seems too easy.

Arabic or Chinese calligraphy, Elian script.
