Viewer Gender Confusion could work as an example of intersex, but that's a guess.

Honestly, "Ambiguously Queer" would be the better thing to start looking for.

Depends on what exactly you're meaning by "implied to be intersex":

Ambiguous Gender (aka Ambiguous Sex) applies if, say, it's hinted someone may or may not be a hermaphrodite.

Ambiguous Gender Identity if the work keeps it ambiguous about where on the spectrum the character identifies - a classic example is leaving it ambiguous whether a character is a cis-male crossdresser or Drag Queen, trans-female, or somewhere between.

The two can overlap in particularly complicated situations as well- say, a Fair Folk character intentionally goes out of their way to invoke Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous by keeping people wondering if they're a masculine cis-female Lad-ette, a camp queen, or a flamboyant true hermaphrodite.

^ The narrative implies a character is intersex, but it's vaguely done.
