Isn't this page creating the idea for a specific block of

What would be the purpose of encoding these? I can't think of any. They
certainly don't need to be encoded as distinct characters to use in a Last
Resort font.

One good reason would be so that a page like
http://www.unicode.org/charts/ can be represented without having to use
lots of .gifs, so for efficiency, searchability etc. Which is pretty
much the same reason for defining any Unicode characters at all, given
that documents and web pages can always be created, though inefficiently
and unsearchably, from lots of images.
