Even better would be a database of the characters used in each language /
script. Was someone working on one?

Back to percentages, how many more popular written languages are in the
Ethnologue that Unicode definitely supports? Are most of 101 to 200 written or
not?

One script added to 3.0 is Braille. Might be useful to mention this in the
press release for the human interest angle. Need to emphasise that Unicode is
a standard and other companies write the software. Do any vendors have a view
on how adding Braile will have an impact on their users?
