Is there anything similar for Latin characters?

The only circumstance I can imagine is where a Latin character has been erroneously encoded with an unused diacritic, for instance a T with a diaeresis.

Multilocular o is known only from a single word in a single manuscript.

This is funny. The Indo European (and hence Slavic) roots for eyes typically have an /o/, and this glyph is round like the eye, so it seems like this character and others linked in that article are just people making little cartoonish drawings on writings involving descriptions of eyes.

Something like the letters V and U.

Or double-U (i.e. UU == W)
