You're not missing something.
It may be documented simply in the chapter describing the script, even if
there's no data associated directly within the Unicode database.
This would be enough to convince font designers to support at least this
association, which would then become the standard for such usage in this
script.
it won't require adding a specific character, and it will discourage others
of reusing a Latin x letter for this purpose (where the x letter is not used
properly according to its semantic), when a script-neutral symbol would be
more appropriate.
