Since the size of the po file for the translation of Unicode data is 
more than 1.5 Mo by language, I don't think than it should be included 
in gucharmap.
Translation of unicode characters is not critical and many live-cd 
distributions would prefer to use the space used by these translation 
with other applications.
Then, the better solution is to create a separate project and use 
gettext to bind to unicode-data if present.

My 2 cents.

/me is happy to see 15OOO strings already translated for my language :-)))
