True, there's a lot of them, but it does also seem to be spending quite
a bit of time per symbol. In FreeBSD and also my hobby OS Unleashed,
data is taken from Unicode's CLDR, which I think *might* be faster (it's
been a long time since I did anything with that), but on the other hand
there are so many reasons to dislike that approach. I quite like the
simplicity of your script - it doesn't really matter much if it takes a
long time to run since you don't need to run it very often.
