Blame the Japanese for that. Apparently some of the biggest users of Unicode are the various Japanese mobile phone manufacturers, TV stations, map makers and similar. So there's a large number of symbols and emoji (emoticons) specifically added for them, presumably because they pay big dollars to the Unicode Consortium and therefore get a lot of influence in what gets added. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
