Ok, I'm overwhelmed by all the scripts and unicode information, and I just need a headstart on this.

What I want to do, is get a list of all the hex numbers of a font family, namely the Symbola font collection, but the family name can be generalized.

For instance, this code gives me the descriptive name of the unicode element 0x1F42A, from the Symbola font collection. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use charnames();
print charnames::viacode(0x1F42A); # prints "DROMEDARY CAMEL"

What I am looking for is a way to get all those hex numbers which Symbola provides. How do I dump Symbola to a list of hex numbers?

Thanks, you are saving me a mind-boggle if you know the answer. :-)
