This currently looks like the only Unicode keyboard out there, but it is paid! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.cwd.unicodekeyboard
Voice recognition button is there, but does nothing! Android 5.1.1, latest Google keyboard: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/SGacqxsz09I The top answer there worked!
Settings -> Apps -> All -> Xperia Home -> Clear data -> OK.

Yes, from the magic Contacts app!
Select a contact, hit the menu item then set ringtone.

Psychoacoustics: best type:

- http://gizmodo.com/5983194/whats-the-best-ringtone-youve-ever-heard
My take:
- high pitch is more audible
- more continuous sound is better
- not longer than 4 seconds so you know it is a ringtone, how many times it sounded, and not regular music
- does not start too abruptly so as to not jump scare you
Good song starts:
- qu yuan lisao
- return to forever medieval ouverture

You need to trigger the media scan.
One way to do that is to reboot.
From the CLI without rebooting: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/51784/can-i-trigger-a-media-scan-via-the-the-command-line
There's an app for that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
