Is it possible to write/copy a Unicode character that doesn't exist yet?
I can't see any actual application for it, but it's been in my mind. Since Unicode blocks are designated far ahead of time, it means there are thousands of unused, undefined characters waiting to be realized. if one were to copy one of those (say U+1FAEB, currently undefined in the Symbols And Pictographs Extended-A block) and save it somewhere, would it later show correctly if Unicode updates that character? I don't see why not, but I feel like I would've seen someone take advantage of this as one of those "future prediction" Twitter posts if so.
