You *could* use that sequence, and if your rendering implementation
were sophisticated enough, it *might* render what you were
expecting.
My recommendation, however, is just to pursue encoding of this
as a symbol character and be done with it. Compared to the
similar pile of stuff at 2460..24FF and 3200..32FF this one
additional circled letter symbol would be a drop in the ocean.
Or.... perhaps in this case, a grain of sand in the desert.
