startUnicode option overridden by prepended unicode

[pindab0ter]

When I set the startUnicode: 0xEA02, the first generated glyph still shows unicode="".

This is the gulp task I've set up:

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    svgicons2svgfont = require('gulp-svgicons2svgfont');

module.exports = {
    task: function() {
        return gulp.src(['img/icons/**/*'])
            .pipe(svgicons2svgfont({
                fontName: 'my-icons',
                appendUnicode: true,
                startUnicode: 0xEA02
            }))
            .on('glyphs', function(glyphs, options) {
                console.log(glyphs, options);
            })
            .pipe(gulp.dest('fonts/'));
    }
};

The problem was me using the appendUnicode setting which prepended (maybe change the name of the option?) the unicode to the filenames. The startUnicode setting is overridden by these prepended unicodes, making the setting useless after the first run.

I agree on the fact it should be prependUnicode, we could change this on the next major version.

Would an "ignoreUnicodePrefixes" option fit your use case?

I ended up not needing the feature, but it seems to me that the startUnicode overriding the file names should be default behaviour. I'll leave that decision up to you though, since I don't need it for my work flow.
