Similarly, Vchar_unified_charset_table seems to be not consulted
anywhere in the code.  Removing these two variables from the C code
seems to make no difference to Emacs as far as I can tell (other than
shrinking the size of the executable by 2M).

Could it be that this part:

has not been implemented?
