You can look at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/alloc/Pipeline.html to see
what's in the pipeline, but note that code points are not yet definite.
There will be a beta period, beginning in January I believe.

Our choice of code points s relevant only for our users and those with whom
we might interchange data. Once we have implementations, such info will be
available either with those implementations or on our Web site for the
benefit of those using those implementations. I don't see any reason to
discuss this on this list.

I can't comment about rendering systems in general: some may have issues
that others do not have.
