All of the +, -, sine etc. Nixies I've seen have what appears to be a numeral 8 cathode behind the others. Why is this? Is it mechanical as opposed to electrical?

It's also present in numeric tubes, halfway through the stack. It's an anode.
Probably keeps the voltage drop more consistent between cathodes
