Italics aren't a novel concept. The approach for encoding new characters is that conventions for them exist and that people *are* exchanging them, people have exchanged them in the past, or that people demonstrably *need* to exchange them.
Excluding emoji, any suggestion or proposal whose premise is "It seems to me that it would be useful if characters supporting <this or that>..." is doomed to be deemed out of scope for the standard.
