That is not our question to answer.  The Unicode Consortium makes
these decisions based on their criteria.  We just support the
characters they add.

These additions are usually so minor that I believe they don't warrant
any discussion.  E.g., part of the support for new characters is the
ability to up-case and down-case them; we lift the data from the
Unicode Character Database, which we import.  It would be unthinkable
for Emacs not to be able to do these simple text operations on any
character.
