Thank you very much for the interesting talk, everybody. I do have a follow
up question though, that I didn't think of during the talk. It was
indicated that the glyphs will occupy the private use space. Many symbols
already have their own codepoints over severals blocks,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Symbols . Would it make sense for
those symbols that already have a code point to use the already defined
code point rather than a private use code point? I'm thinking about the
star, black star, pencil, paperclip and gear for example, but I think the
same goes for most glyps on the image in the github page.
