    This policy applies only to characters that have already been approved
    and added to the Standard. As Naga stated in his original post, this
    concerns a character in the Pipeline. It's not yet standardized, and
    it's not in the Unicode 5.0 beta either. If approved, it will be added
    to a version later than 5.0. There may still be time to change the
    name.
