Some of the new characters seem reasonable. But Webdings and Wingdings? Why
not a Unicode character for the Mona Lisa? Or for specific corporate

Unicode does make private code points available, with one of their
intended uses being for corporate logos and the like.  The
International Red Cross, TUC (the Belgian biscuit maker), Coca Cola,
and probably others make use of multipoint Unicode representations of
their logos|names.

On a different note, discussion of Unicode is certainly not off-topic here.
