Lots of letters, symbols (and words) may look like something.
The Greek minuscule omega looks like
ω
The Latin capital be looks like
B
The Cyrillic capital ve looks like
В
The Georgian he looks like
ჱ
The Latin minuscule de and be together look like
db
The Yi syllable dde looks like
ꅉ
The Egyptian hieroglyph D053 looks like
𓂺
(YMMV depending on the font.)

So? What is your point?

It's that letters and words may look like something that has a similar shape, nothing much deeper than that. It's a coincidence that the word meaning 'Allah' has, at least when written in a calligraphic style, a form that reminded you of an ass or another person of saggy tits.
