Yes, I've seen that, it is pity that Windows seems not to use it.

I will try a few other Windows versions first. It looks to me that
Symbol encoding is not a real encoding at all apart from the 0xf000

for that reason..

Yup, that is, I think, because it needs to work for non Unicode
characters as well.
