Version 7.0 of the Unicode Standard is now available, adding 2,834 new
characters. This latest version adds the new currency symbols for the
Russian ruble and Azerbaijani manat, approximately 250 emoji (pictographic
symbols), many other symbols, and 23 new lesser-used and historic scripts,
as well as character additions to many existing scripts. These additions
extend support for written languages of North America, China, India, other
Asian countries, and Africa. For full details, see
http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode7.0.0/.

Some of the new characters seem reasonable. But Webdings and Wingdings? Why
not a Unicode character for the Mona Lisa? Or for specific corporate logos.
Hey, might be a money maker!?
