I will recommend to use PUA (private user area U+E000 to U+F8FF)
provided by Unicode for Temporary character code assignment for New INR
Symbol.
Adding this new symbol at U+20A8 will make Gargi Unicode non complaint
font.

One of the Unicode policy is backward compatibility.
It means they never change shape assigned to any Unicode code point,
worst case they just deprecate use of particular code point.
If we use temporary code from PUA now, when we will get actual code from
Unicode, We can easily replace it with presently used PUA code point.
Since these never occur in storage, and will not conflict with any
presently used Indic Unicode code point.
