How are traffic signs not in "running text" in books about the rules of the road and such like?

  I'm not sure about the 'running text' thing, but in my view Traffic Signs are not globally universal (yet), so you'd have to have regional variants which is impractical.

    Tons of the things in unicode are not "globally universal".

  Running text means INSIDE text (as in: "running along" with the other characters), not "used in a book as illustration".

    Yes, of course. What was I thinking?

    It seems that every symbol imaginable will be used in running text eventually. At very least, for purposes of discussing the symbol itself!
