Well, actually Akkadian cuneiform isn't yet in Unicode. See 
http://www.jhu.edu/ice/. But I get the impression that not much has 
happened in the nearly three years since the first conference. You could 
find out more from the Unicode list, see 
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/consortium/distlist.html.

Ugaritic cuneiform is now in Unicode, see the chart at 
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10380.pdf.

Agreed that it would be good to see the original form AS WELL as the 
transliteration. Just not the original form without transliteration.
