What do you mean by complex characters? If you mean sequences of Latin abbreviation symbols, those exist too, they are just harder to paste into forum posts.
The Italian diplomatic ciphers are both many-to-one and one-to-many. There was no prohibition on a letter being represented by only one symbol/character.
