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.
No, they're doing the right thing, because if you use glyphs that
don't correspond to a code point, you should use the PUA.
Of course it's right to use PUA for non-mappable symbols, I was just
saying that expanding the unicode symbols charts will help them to
properly map frequently used icons
Some Latin characters turned by 180° are also missing.
OPf course I didn't mean to suggest or impose any kind of precedence
over the surely more important text characters :) I'm sorry if I
appeared arrogant
I think there are enough in the Emoji blocks to choose from. You can
write proposals for icons you feel are missing but don't expect them
to be accepted. I would think there is little need or proof for
plain-text use of those icons. A shopping cart on a web site is rarely
used within text, it is used as a button or icon and standing alone.
So there is little need of even enabling the plain-text use of it.
Well, in tourism signs/texts, the shopping cart icon is very common and
this is an indisputable fact
