    * geboren [born] -- asterisk, already encoded
    (*) außerehelich geboren [born in wedlock] -- parentheses and
                          asterisk, already encoded
    { }* tot geboren [born dead] -- dagger and asterisk, already encoded
    *{ } am Tag der Geburt gestorben [died on day of birth] -- asterisk
                          and dagger, already encoded
    { } getauft [baptized] -- could use U+3030 WAVY DASH

    { } verlobt [engaged] -- could use an existing circle character
    { } verheiratet [married] -- needs new symbol
    { } geschieden [divorced] -- needs new symbol
    { } außereheliche Verbindung [common law marriage ?] -- needs new symbol
    { } gestorben [died] -- dagger, already encoded
    { } gefallen [killed (in battle?)] -- needs new crossed swords symbol
    { } begraben [buried] -- needs new coffin symbol
    { } eingeäschert [cremated] -- needs new urn symbol
                 (although I suppose people could use one of the 29
                  new Linear B vessel ideograms to indicate just what
                  kind of urn they were buried in. ;-) )
