On closer inspection, this turns out to be a bad idea;
SO is not, after all, linguistically neutral; the category
is used for what appears to be some fairly fundamental
stuff in the CJK and Kangxi sections and looks like it
might be an impediment to writers of those languages
if not permitted in identifiers.  Maybe we should just
consider the dingbats themselves.
