mktables: Convert to BELL meaning U+1F514
As a result of the Unicode 6.0 mistake of using "BELL" to refer to
a different code point, Perl has deprecated use of this name for 2 major
release cycles, while not fully implementing Unicode in the interim, to
allow any affected code to migrate to the new name
This commit now switches to the new meaning of BELL.
