I'm developing a library to manage Unicode.

As a hobby, not so much for the moment, but more in the next couple of 
month.

No.  I would use Lisp as much as I would like to if my current company 
chose this language instead of another language (Java) for politic 
reasons only.  I just use Lisp for my personnal work.

I'm not sure that there is a big interest that Lisp growths.  I only 
talk about the growth of the Lisp usage among world developers, the Lisp 
community.  Lisp is quite an underground community.  Developers who 
really want to improve their skills have to "search for" "her".  Hence 
this community seems to be only composed of people who share the same 
Computer Art feeling and who want to improve real technologies.  I'm 
afraid that if Lisp become popular, popular developers who only are 
interested in popular technologies (such as Java, PHP, and so on), try 
to denature this language as they already did by the past.

No, but why not.
