Note that Unicode includes hieroglyphs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphs#Unicode

Not just hieroglyphs... Unicode includes anything you can imagine
It includes many things, but not, for example, an 'i' dotted with a heart. And to represent mathematics well you need to use MathML.
There was a request for it: http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/n258a-heartdo... (but do note the date)
What unicode does or does not include doesn't matter.
I just wanted to clarify this because I got the impression you were implying they weren't.
