Hi Michel,
I found many icons I was looking for, yes... but the shopping cart one
is missing... the closest one is U+1F6CD (SHOPPING BAGS) which is close
enough for representing a shopping cart.

You could do us a great favor by looking at what is already in the pipeline for
Unicode 7.0 and is part of amendment 1 and 2 to 10646 documented as such in the
2012 UTC registry (373 and 374). Those includes many new symbols, including
most of what you are looking for. Amendment 1 is already published (thus
frozen) and Amendment 2 went through its last technical ballot and will be
definitively frozen in June.

Subject: Suggestion for new dingbats/symbols
Hello,
I really think dingbats/icons are a great form of communication.
For example, how about the "floppy disk" icon? Younger people don't even know what a
floppy disk is, but they know, in computing, it means "save".
And what about emoticons? An unique way to communicate, understandable by
everyone.
Nowadays, in computing, especially on the internet, icons-only fonts are really
popular.
Sadly, people use to assign these icons/glyphs in the private use area, because
they think unicode is not good enough to map all of their icons.
So, I think more should be done. Many icons are already in the unicode charts,
and this is awesome, but some very common ones are missing.
For example, what about the "shopping cart" icon? Or the "trash bin"
icon? Or also the symbol of "chat/discussion" (two speech ballons) ?
What do you think?
Giorgio
