There are some alternatives here. We can certainly define our own Unicode
mapping table and make it available through a variety of means, and also
encourage synchronization. When unicode changes, we change the mapping
tables to handle any conflicts.

We could even put this stuff into a zone, and let people replicate from
that periodically, to encourage faster synchronization.
