As for
PUA, many people have their own plans regarding U+F300..U+F3FF. For my own

symbols.
Thank you for your email.
As is well known, the Unicode Consortium will not

Yes, I feel that it is worth putting forward a proposal for the open and
closed padlock symbols...
So, a suggestion, how about the following four symbols. I have added
some
Private Use Area allocation suggestions... Readers who read my

Recently I have seen many proposals for encoding graphical symbols. UTC
and WG2 have a criterion that says that not just any old graphical
symbol will be encoded. The symbol must be in common use in running
