Yes, but most of those are intended to be used exclusively for math, where the different styles do have semantic meaning. Even in introductory textbooks, it's pretty common to see the roman, calligraphic, and double-struck variants of a single letter all used with different meanings.
Plus, these characters were only added 20+ years later, and in the supplemental planes, not the BMP.
