Fascinating. From the article:
| Unicode [can't] set the standard for that new character [...] until
| it knows what it's called, and it won't know that until late February
| at best. Unfortunately, version 12 of Unicode is due to come out
| in early March...
Sounds like the problems encountered by some other people I know,
trying madly to release their updates in time for the results of
last-minute time-related political decisions... :-)
