OK.
> 4) Determine a suitable code-page for the character
We don't do "code pages"; and you can actually skip this step if you
aren't sure where it might be able to go.

Jon, if you want to submit a proposal, by all means do so. Let UTC decide
whether they think it's a character or not. You have the process pretty
well figured out. You will probably be expected to provide plenty of
evidence that this "character" is used in running text -- e.g. scanned
images from various relevant publications showing its usage. If plenty of
such evidence doesn't exist, then the "character" is probably a novelty
that hasn't caught on very far. (Even if your proposal isn't accepted, it's
a good exercise, and you'll be better equipped to propose other things in
the future.)
