This may be intentional. Character Model for the World Wide Web 1.0: Fundamentals says:

C076 [C] Content MUST NOT use a code point for any purpose other than that defined by its coded character set.

This prohibits, for example, the construction of fonts that misuse the codepoints in the ISO Latin 1 character set to represent different scripts, characters, or symbols than those actually encoded in iso-8859-1. http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#C076

and also

C068 [S] Specifications SHOULD allow the inclusion of or reference to pictures and graphics where appropriate, to eliminate the need to (mis)use character-oriented mechanisms for pictures or graphics. http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#C068

Using fonts to make little pictures, or to represent other characters (this used to be especially common with the 'Symbol' font used to fake up Greek) goes against the character model, which is fiollowd by the SVG specifications. Glyphs are identified primarily by the unicode code-point for which they are a glyph. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/fonts.html#GlyphElementUnicodeAttribute
