CharacterRange gives a set of characters with sequential character
codes, but the script characters are not sequential:
In[]:=ToCharacterCode["\[ScriptD]"]
Out[]= {63157}
In[]:=ToCharacterCode["\[ScriptE]"]
Out[]={8495}
Why, I'm not sure. But it might be that some of these characters have
special reserved places in Unicode, or something like that.
