Yes. In uppercase: ?А ?В ?Е ?К ?М ?Н ?О ?Р ?С ?Т ?Х. (Coincidentally,
Russian car license plates use confusable letters exclusively, so that
people who are not fluent in the Cyrillic script could still report
violations.)

Also, confusability depends on font style. In lowercase italic, these
pairs are also confusable: д/g, з/z, и/u, п/n, т/m, ч/r.
