> The ECOMO of symbols set is particularly interesting, as it seems to be a compendium of not just the ISO 7001 symbols, but also the DOT and AIGA symbols, and almost all the other symbols I could think of as meeting my earlier criteria, such as the ubiquitous "running man" emergency exit symbol. the stylized "i" information symbol, and the symbols for sports activities.

After a bit more research, I found this blog post:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/blog/?p=700
which suggests that the AIGA set and the Department of Transportation
set are one and the same, and that the ECOMO and ISO 7001 pictograph
sets were derived from this starting set of pictograms.
I've had a quick go at unifying the ECOMO and AGIA sets with one another
and symbols already encoded in Unicode, which suggests that around 126
new characters might need to be encoded to complete both the ECOMO/AGIA
sets.
Details below the fold: I've tried to keep the various names I've used
close to the names in the actual standards themselves. I'm sure there
are errors in this, as well as missed opportunities for unification, but
it's a start on estimating the scope of the task of completing the set
of commonly used public information symbols.
