Bad idea. Bad William. No biscuit.

No, it is not. The correct approach is to first get something encoded in
the standard, then create fonts with it at the assigned codepoint. If you
want to put it in a font in the meantime, use a PUA codepoint, or create a
font with a different encoding, such as a symbol font. Putting this at
U+2693 in a unicode-encode font violates conformance requirements.
