"()()" is an ambigram, which wikipedia describes as "visual palindromes", for whatever that's worth.

Oh boy, they have some good ones. You've been missing out.

Edit: Quicksort has a nice one. SVD for linear/matrix operations too.

I'm pretty sure I've seen even better ones that could almost stand as a YouTube video but I can't remember where now

I love that the word ambigram can be made to look as an ambigram whereas palindrome - wtf, could have done so much better with naming that guys.
