I know, right?  Drives me crazy.

It seems to me that at the very least the "branch" symbol has some claim 
to be text.  Moreover, we have already encoded lots of characters that 
have less.  MINIMIZE, MAXIMIZE, OVERLAP, and CANCELLATION X are all 
strictly graphic UI characters, as are quite a few others in that 
block.  The "map" symbols also can't really make much of a claim to 
being plain text.
