(Jason, please report the Last Resort problem as a separate bug.)

Of the 742 glyphs in "Miscellaneous Symbols And Pictographs", very few of them are likely to include typographic glyphs which would benefit from being consistent with the Ubuntu font:
- 1F4A4 SLEEPING SYMBOL
- 1F4B2 HEAVY DOLLAR SIGN
- 1F4F4 MOBILE PHONE OFF
- 1F5DA INCREASE FONT SIZE
and a few others.

So I think these symbols would be better implemented in a font (or color
pseudo-font) separate from the Ubuntu font.

  This is a wishlist item.

  Please introduce Unicode character 'PILE OF POO' (U+1F4A9) in future versions of the Ubuntu font.
