OK, I have added the entries for \varnothing, and
\revemptyset. \revemptyset needs STIX package. BTW, I have factorized
some of the « you should load ... » notices using flags --- duplicating
info is the worst of all evils.

In fact the Unicode has only one symbol, no variant.

Ooops... I have forgotten to remove « text » from the English version,
that will be next time.

The unicode uses "Lunate" for \epsilon, and "small letter" for
\varepsilon.

I think that if we want to qualify \varepsilon distinctively from
\epsilon we should say « script » in English and « de ronde » in French,
see
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2100.pdf
http://hapax.qc.ca/pdf/Tableaux-5.0/U2100.pdf
code 211B is « _script_ capital R » in English, and « R capital _de
ronde_ » in French. So IMHO, we could say « script lower case
epsilon » in English and « epsilon bas de casse de ronde » in French.
