The pile of poo is a great example. It is supported because the unicode consortium pays attention to the need of non western languages, not because it ignores them and would rather do silly things. Japan has had a tendency to includes all sorts of crap, including this example of actual crap, into its character sets/encodings. Japan also has a history of working with the various standard bodies like the Unicode Consortium. Because Japanese systems had the pile of poo, unicode has it.
