Depends.

No, not GOST, but the National Bank of Russia. :-)... kindof:
As I understand, national character encoding standards and actual usage in
print or manuscript to be edited are reasons for encoding.
By user initiative you have to demonstrate some actual usage in print. Due
to the note by Adam T. that the final design has not yet been chosen by the
national bank, no widespread printed actual usage will be found. Even if
you'd do, you'd run into the danger, that an other design is selected
finally. It would be unfortunate, if the Unicode Ruble currency sign
differed from the one on the ruble notes... would be pretty confusing.
Just my two cents.
