It’s not so surprising considering Unicode is about text, not about symbols.

  There's plenty symbols in it. For instance: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/miscellaneous_symbols_and_pictographs/images.htm https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/miscellaneous...

  There are various Unicode blocks dedicated to symbols. There are cartography symbols, domino tiles, alchemical symbols... There is even a block for "legacy computing". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_block#List_of_blocks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_block#List_of_blocks

    My of these is the block dedicated to western musical notation.

  Text is symbols. And Unicode in particular has loads of non-letter symbols in it. It's only natural, given that a lot of these often show up in line with regular letters. Think of various paper documents you read, like instruction manuals, which make heavy use of non-letter glyphs in text.
