Someone from the Unicode consortium has looked into what's available as equivalent unicode chars: http://unicode.org/~asmus/web-wing-ding-ext.pdf.

There's also quite a few pages there and there, that has crafted similar lists. We could possibly scrape one of those to get an alias-map.

These seem to do the trick, though some verification is needed:

curl -s http://www.alanwood.net/demos/wingdings.html | awk -F '[<>]+' '/Wingdings/ {print $9, $21}'
curl -s http://www.alanwood.net/demos/wingdings-2.html | awk -F '[<>]+' '/Wingdings/ {print $9, $21}'
