Hello I followed Adams nice way, to include unicode symbols. Now I want
to ask, how these can be scaled, so that they can be used more like
small figures. Any hints?
TIA,

Hmm, it depends a bit on how you get these (I assume) Unicode symbols and
fonts.
Note that symb-uni is part of the main distro now, and you probably
should set my earlier version of the file aside.
You could redefine \USymbChar after \usesymbols[uni]:
\def\USymbChar#1#2{%
\scale[sx=0.8,sy=0.8]{\uchar#1#2}}
\let\USymbCharTwo\USymbChar
\let\USymbCharZapf\USymbChar
(untested, inelegant)

\startsymbolset[myscaledsymbols]
\definesymbol[MyUniSymbolA][{\scale[sx=.75em,sy=.5cm]]{\uchar{..}{..}}]
\stopsymbolset
....
\symbol[myscaledsymbols][MyUniSymbolA]
