Canada opposed its inclusion (but accepted other abbreviations) and
remained unconvinced at the end of the ad hoc meeting.
This is public knowledge as it is recorded in a publicly available WG2
document
Personnaly, I still think this symbol should have a bar on top : I think
no other symbol is divided like this, it is not a series of letters
being abbreviated, it is already an abbreviation by itself (as a glyph
variant).
But, as said, « discussing » this calmly is extremely difficult.
