Christmas Symbols

CHRISTMAS and nine more words of a name

The character must also be in one of five blocks: Miscellaneous Symbols, Dingbats, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs, or Transport and Map Symbols, and its name must not have the word CANCELLATION. The rule selects 18 characters.
