I have given some cursory view to the unicode website; I found about a
dozen or so  musical characters included in the unicode standard, but a
large number of others that have not been considered for inclusion in the
standard.

Music typefaces are quite specialized; in the days of handset music, a
typesetter needed about three times the number of characters of type to
typeset the music as he needed to print text, so it may be that the most
expedient course of action is simply to honor the unicode standard in the
breach.
