<quote> 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/. </quote> 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!? -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
