Seems reasonable.

It kinda feels like this is outside the charter of an "unaccent"
dictionary.  I don't object to having these conversions available
but it seems like it ought to be a separate feature.

Tom, I disagree with you because many similar numerical conversions are already taking place, e.g. 1/2, 1/4...

Today Unicode is ubiquitous and we use a lot more weird characters.
I just completed these less common characters.

Therefore, the problem of missing characters in unaccent.rules affects the correct operation of the FTS mechanisms.
