Yes, indeed, we had this discussion before. The conclusion :-) :-) is
that (The Artist Who Should Now Be Known as What's-'Is-Name[1])'s
pronunciationless name glyph is an idiosyncratic, personal, novel,
rarely exchanged, private-use logo and graphic, and as such is not
eligible (on seven separate counts) for inclusion in Unicode.
"The Unicode Standard does not encode idiosyncratic, personal, novel,
rarely exchanged, or private-use characters, nor does it encode logos
or graphics."
