Aqua icons from system fonts

Whilst looking for free toolbar icons for my program, I stumbled in UnicodeChecker upon one of Apple's <private use> areas that has hundreds of symbols that would (with some aquification or other enhancements) be perfect for toolbars. A paper tray with an up arrow and one with a down arrow would be an excellent choice, in my first impression, for import and export features.

I've read through previous postings, but haven't found much about using such symbols in our icons. Is there any reason not to, provided that we can stylise them to appear a nice part of the interface?

Cheers,
	Andrew Merenbach

P.S.: For those who wish to examine the symbols, I used UnicodeChecker (www.earthlingsoft.net) and have been examining the range that includes Decimal 61650 and 61651 (hex F0D2 and F0D3), for the trays. The rest of the symbols appear fairly contiguous about that region.
