I tend to doubt that. The Unicode folks are *very* resistant to adding 
trademarks and anything that's not clearly text. "Note, however, that 
the Unicode Standard does not encode idiosyncratic, personal, novel, or 
private-use characters, nor does it encode logos or graphics. 
Graphologies unrelated to text, such as dance notations, are likewise 
outside the scope of the Unicode Standard."
