Unicode Status for Symbols

In the Unicode Standard there are characters that are considered Symbols, but they are associated with certain scripts. The characters listed here are Symbols (Math_Symbol, Currency_Symbol, Modifier_Symbol, Other_Symbol), but they are in the “Common” category rather than associated with a particular script.

In The Unicode Standard, Symbols are discussed in Chapter 22 Symbols.
