I saw unicodesymbols.py and used it to figure out how to import the
information, thanks! If it is any use for LyX, I can export the
Unicode char code and the corresponding math mode command that I have
for eLyXer; but I lack other information like text mode command, TeX
package, etc. There should be some 200 commands not in unicodesymbols.

For the moment  I can import new versions of the file using a bundled tool:
  $ exportconfig --importcfg py
which is prepared to do the job however many times are necessary: it
only adds new symbols which are not already in eLyXer's configuration.
This way it can be synchronized as needed.

Alex.
