Mac OS X 10.1 and later support non-BMP characters. I believe we support
all of the formats for cmaps that such support such characters.

Mac OS looks first for a Unicode platform cmap, then a Microsoft Unicode
cmap, then a Microsoft symbol cmap. I think we'll also use a 10646 cmap
but I forget where it goes in the priority order.
