These were added a few years ago. I don't know off-hand where you can
find a complete list, other than in the proposal
L2/02-085 Characters and symbols used in user interfaces
http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2002/02085-n2415-playback.pdf
(since Sun is a member you can get access to that).
That proposal doesn't have code points for the items that were later
added in response to the proposal, but you can search by name, such as
with the following to find the EJECT symbol:

Hope this helps,
Mark
