    Among the characters planned for unicode 6.0, there are also two
    unattested Devanagari charcaters, which are part of an new orthographic
    reform for Kashmiri. They are the two AW's (*U+0945 and *U+094F) of the
    proposals n3710 and n3731.

    I think they fit the bill quite well, even if they are not encoded yet.
