Hi!

I have recently came across this part of Unicode spectrum:

http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/service/imode/make/content/pictograph/list/index.html

While it is understood that the visual representation depends on many
things and doesn't depend on Python that much, it could perhaps be
useful to have unicodedata contain at least translations, so that

unicodedata.name(unichr(0xE63F))

be something like: "PICTOGRAM CLOUDY"

Still, I donno how standard is that range of Unicode characters, but if
Unicode really has those their support could be funny...

Hopefully, BDFL will 0xE70B that 0xE6F0

See you 0xE6B7,
Roman
