I've updated the documentation in FreeType. We now have
FT_ENCODING_MS_SYMBOL ::
Corresponds to the Microsoft Symbol encoding, used to encode
mathematical symbols and wingdings. For more information, see
`http://www.kostis.net/charsets/symbol.htm' and
`http://www.kostis.net/charsets/wingding.htm'.
This encoding uses character codes from the PUA (Private
Unicode Area) in the range U+F020-U+F0FF.
