Not only will some of these codes change the color, some will add an outline, change the font size, and bold the text. You can also nest them inside each other (to save space and so on). I gave an effort to organize these by shade at one point and I gave up. Here they are in no particular order:

Formatting: #red{Sample Text}

Firstly, a table of the symbols which appear in the colored square in the tactical UI. Because there are no "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" names for these symbols, I've given them approximate names. There are also some "combination" symbols (like when infantry are riding in a transport or when a helicopter is carrying ATGMs) but some of the symbols are unique to combinations and do not seem to appear by themselves (the bomb symbol for aircraft). Until these are found, I will assume the combination symbols are separate.

Nameplate: These appear next to the unit name. Only applies to command/recon units.

Roles: Only seen in the armory. Listed in order from armory screen.
I suspect these are interchangeable with the tactical UI symbols, but there is a distinct difference in formatting and these are usually appear as higher resolution. There is also no full overlap.

Traits: Also only seen in the armory. Listed in alphabetical order.
(these symbols show up in color by default, not as flat outlines)

#supply0 - icon for a unit out of fuel
#conquestArea
#commandArea
#CombatRuleConquest
#CombatRuleDestruction

Here are some unused symbols that I have no idea how to sort:

#attack - Flexing arm
#defense - A shield
#IFV - not the in-game IFV symbol (legacy?)
#SUP - (I have no idea what this is SUPposed to be)
#HEL - helicopter being shot down?
#trait_SML - no idea what this means
#artillery - dark grey artillery
#armored - Orange tank, from SD2
#bombard - It's a bomb
#Stealth - crossed out eye
#Enemy_airplane_contact
#New_phase_started
#Player_unit_captured
#Player_unit_destroyed
#Unit_under_attack
#1vs1
#2vs2
#3vs3
#4vs4
#10vs10

In-game chat will only show flags; colors and other icons will be unparsed. Symbols and colors will only work in game chat, the Warning Order at the start of a match, the player roster to the right of the screen, the friends list, and the end screen. In every other place in the game, Eugen displays unparsed plain text, which not only looks super ugly but also means you cannot use these to name divisions. You can also use some of these tricks in session/server names, but I have not fully tested all symbols or colors.

It's also possible that these may be removed or broken at some point. Many of these are vestigial remnants of decade-old games.

WARNO allows the use of some Unicode symbols in-game, but their support is seemingly random. For example, only half of the superscript numbers are allowed and the numbers which show up vary depending on where it is in-game. I suspect this is because whoever they outsourced their "custom" font to didn't bother adding all unicode symbols for each font.

At some point I may collect all of the desirable and working symbols and list them here. Until then, you will simply have to experiment to see what works.

I was inspired by numerous similar guides made for older games, as well as less comprehensive guides posted on various other net forums. Although I could not feasibly credit every single influence, I will at least credit this source: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=355698402 This guide served as not only major inspiration, but also gave me a sense of how these codes are formatted.
