I agree with Danilo. In addition, if you create a seperate Unicode
database thing that is not deeply tied to gucharmap, please try to place
that on freedesktop.org, so that other applications can benefit from it.

And as Danilo said, try to place the pot file from that effort in the
Translation Project. Then other translators of freedesktop.org software
can translate it too.

Just my suggestion,
