   It would be nice to see a discussion of how existing applications of
   various sorts and existing fonts (including fonts with the Dingbat
   symbol set, as Howell has suggested) might be adapted to work with
   UNICODE.

UNICODE contains all of the Zapf Dingbats (as well as countless other random
symbols, operators, relations, delimiters, roadkills, what have you)
