Segoe UI Symbol icons

Question
-
Can anyone point me to the Unicode values for the icons in Segoe UI Symbol?
I saw Tim Heuer's talks at //build where he showed the font for appbar.

You can use the Character Map app that's included with Windows to look through them all and get the Unicode values.

Note that charmap.exe does not show all of the characters in the font. For example many of the emoji in the font do not show up. Office insert symbol is a better option.

Thanks, completely forgot about that. I didn't want to have to install Office just so I could use the insert function in word.

This answer is incorrect and the reply below provides a better option to actually see the Win8 icons included in the font.Saturday, March 10, 2012 1:12 AM

Found these two useful visualization of the icons in Segoe UI Symbol along with their unicode values.

I created a master CSS file with named icons based on the names from the Dev Center article. Feel free to use for your Windows 8 apps.
