I can do this, and I can also add these symbols myself. :-)

This is not exactly right. 25A2 is "WHITE SQUARE WITH ROUNDED
CORNERS". Unfortunately I cannot find a corresponding LaTeX symbol
(not even in the comprehensive list). \square would match 25A1 "WHITE
SQUARE", but this is already present in latex-ucs.
I do not like to use \square for 25A2, because it would be wrong.
Users should be aware that there is no LaTeX counterpart (at least not
in the standard packages) instead of silently getting wrong
characters.
Do you happen to know an appropriate LaTeX symbol for this? If so, I'd
be happy to add it, otherwise I can't do anything about this.
Thanks,
Martin
