David,
As Mr Suzuki says, despite the U prefix, USAT is not a Unicode source
character. The reason why a solitary USAT source reference has
suddenly popped up in Ext. B is that several thousand ideographs were
proposed for encoding by SAT in what will be CJK Ext. F in Unicode
10.0 next year (there are currently 2,884 USAT characters in Ext. F).
At the WG2 meeting in Matsue Japan last year, in response to UK ballot
comments, USAT-00061 was unified with U+20991 in Ext. B (see
http://www.unicode.org/wg2/docs/n4701-M64-Recommendations.pdf
Recommendation M64.05c). I suppose that the Unicode Standard will be
updated with a description of SAT when Ext. F is included in v. 10
next year.
