I know, we could designate Plane 13 as a Corporate Use Area, and
accept registrations of corporate logos as characters in this plane
(let's call it the "Corporate Registration Allocated Plane") at $1,000
a character -- and the money Unicode earns from it could be put
towards encoding real scripts and characters.
