History

The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Transport and Map Symbols block:

gollark: I think the main thing is that, in the past, if some horrible virus wiped out a big chunk of human civilization, it would not spread anywhere else because they then died.
gollark: I didn't say there was one.
gollark: Who says there isn't one?
gollark: The obvious solution is mind control, but distributed in a way conspiracists are likely to take (not vaccines).
gollark: They're not THAT internally inconsistent I think. Presumably they have empathy or something and don't want other people to be mind controlled by the government or whatever (or somehow think they can convince other people to support their thing).
