For whats it worth, that sounds like a perfect task for a standard
perl(1):

  $ perl -e 'use charnames();print charnames::viacode(0x1),"\n"'
  START OF HEADING

For you Unicoders the Unicode::Tussle stuff may also be of
interest, too [1][2]. (Just because i haven't seen it mentioned
on this list yet.)
