    Michael is correct.

    There is no guarantee that a character accepted into Unicode will be
    accepted into ISO 10646.

    Nor is there any guarantee that a character accepted into ISO 10646 will be
    accepted into Unicode.

    That being said, both committees see the value of synchronization, and have
    always worked together towards it. The proposal forms are unified, as are
    the policies and procedures. So submission can be to either body. Because
    the UTC meets more often, it may be useful to submit there first so as to
    get more discussion; and any characters that have unusual properties or
    other behavior are best first submitted to the UTC, since that is the place
    for the definition of the character properties and algorithms that are
    ultimately used by computer systems to support the characters.
