Unify e-4BC FOUNTAIN with ARIB-9125?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think e-4BC FOUNTAIN can be unified with ARIB 9125 = new U+26F2

To me, ARIB-9125=new U+26F2 looks more like a drinking water fountain, or maybe 
a 
small fountain on a pedestal, while our e-4BC looks like a big fountain built 
into 
the ground.

I could go either way on these. If we keep them separate, then we have to 
change our 
name, or request to change the name for U+26F2.
(I have not yet plugged in AMD 6 character name data, otherwise the test would 
have 
found this collisions. I have that data and will get to it soon.)

In L2/08-077, the annotation for ARIB 915 indicates that this fountain 
character can designate a park (so it is 
probably supposed to be a large fountain)

The original ARIB document simply lists 9125 as 公園 (= a park). 
The fountain icon is used to represent a park in this case. If you look at KDDI
Emoji, this Emoji is followed by Emoji for a camping lodge, and for Softbank it 
is
surrounded by Emoji showing an amusement park, a roller coaster, a camping 
tent, etc.
I think a good case can be made for regarding e-4BC as standing in for a park 
(as
well a physical fountain of course). Thus, it should be OK to unify this with 
new U+26F2.

Kat, your explanation about the fountain symbol representing a park sounds like 
a 
case for keeping it separate, but your last sentence seems to agree with 
unification.

Peter, I can't tell from your comment 2 if you still think we should unify, or 
if you 
are not convinced any more.

Should we unify e-4BC with ARIB-9125=new U+26F2 and ask for an annotation there 
like 
"may represent a park"?

Mark agrees with the unification. In the names list for AMD6, U+26F2 already 
has an 
alias of "park". I added the unification in r67.
