@ajashton what's the best way to measure relative need of different unicode groups for map labels?

We really just need to look at the name tag to gather statistics, and divide up character frequencies by region. Would you want to split by political boundaries, or a more uniform grid?

A quick, rough approximation could be just to look at named nodes by processing a planet pbf with osmium, grouping counts by geohash or similar.
