The Unicode standard only gives numeric values to rational numbers. Is the reason for this merely because of the difficulty of representing irrational ones?

In looking through the list of code points, I actually found only one case where a character totally unambiguously refers to a particular irrational number, and that is U+2107, EULER CONSTANT. NamesList.txt says that U+03C0, GREEK SMALL LETTER PI is used for the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, but it has other uses as well, and does not have the Math property. The various Math PI's don't seem that they necessarily mean this value either. Things like the two characters that have "Planck's constant" in their names, even if the code points always meant that, have different values in different measurement systems, so couldn't be said to refer to particular numbers.

I'm curious if any thought was given to this, and what code points I'm missing in my analysis.
