It's euphemisms all the way down. Describing what their domains and appearance are, giving written descriptions of symbols that you can't risk actually drawing, coming up with epithets so that you can reference them without actually saying their names, etc.

Though I imagine that if an epithet becomes overused it starts to be just another 'canonical' symbol of (aka part of the body of) that spirit and you have to stop using it.

Basically it's as much of a pain in the ass as possible.

I think it's more difficult for a spirit to pop up where another one has already staked a claim though- and this makes the symbols of the High Gods really useful! Gestalt symbols like the one built into TSB's helmet are powerfully symbolically loaded w/o representing a specific active spirit. They saturate an area with 'magical meaning' or w/e in a way that doesn't generally risk summoning anything.

So maybe all you need to do is blanket a page in High God shenanigans and then if you write SCARB down it'd be 'neutralized' by the opposing holiness or whatever?
