In the proposal, C.9 Can any of the proposed characters be encoded
using a composed character sequence of either
existing characters or other proposed characters? says "No". I've
demonstrated that it is not true.
There is no mention of this possibility in the proposal nor any
justification as to why the proposed character must be represented by
a single character.

FWIW, a named character sequence can be added for it.

Under magnification, it looks like a true tack rather than a
combination of a macron and a vertical line. Is that a satisfying
condition for encoding?
