I'm sure someone official will give you an official answer, but I know the only
answer you are going to get to your question is NO - there is no way to change
the encoding point of a character (or to change a character name) once it is in
the Unicode or ISO 10646 standards. Allowing changes like this would break
existing implementations of these standards - and of course these standards
would be useless as standards if they were subject to that kind of change.
Proposals to encode new characters in the Unicode and ISO 10646 standards have
to go through a lengthy process of consideration and there is ample opportunity
to submit comments on any proposal during that process. However once characters
are finally assigned code points in the Unicode and ISO 10646 standards that's
it.
May I ask what is the reason these people from the government of Georgia want
to change the codepoints of some Georgian characters? There is probably another
good solution (or solutions) for whatever problem they think would be solved by
changing encoding points.
