I was just playing around, separating also the parts of the p and d, so that I actually have the 6 separate symbols: I, O, O, I, I, >. I tried squeezing them together and putting them in different planes, so that the viewers can reorganize them in their heads as 'pdl>' or 'infinity' between vertical bars, or a number ' 10011' or a ket '|001>'... Other possibility is to make an actual solid 3D figure for each of the 6 symbols.
