Subject: [PATCH] nls: use shape-based compose sequences for hammer-and-sickle
 instead
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Using a misspelled abbreviation (CCCP) of an obsolete country's name
to compose a fairly general communist symbol does not seem right.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer_and_sickle

Many compose sequences instead combine characters that together look
similar to the target character.  Do the same here: question mark (?)
plus backslash (\) look a bit like ☭ .

In the bargain, this fixes issue #63.
