A conformant process must interpret ⓅⓊⒶⒹⒶⓉⒶ as the characters ⓅⓊⒶⒹⒶⓉⒶ and
not as a signal to process what follows as anything other than plain text.
What you are proposing is a higher-level protocol, whether you realize it
or not. Unfortunately your higher-level protocol has a serious flaw in that
it cannot represent the string "ⓅⓊⒶⒹⒶⓉⒶ". Also, seeing a bunch of circled
alphanumeric characters in a document ⓘⓢ◯ⓕⓐⓡ◯ⓕⓡⓞⓜ◯ⓤⓝⓞⓑⓣⓡⓤⓢⓘⓥⓔ.
There are plenty of already-existing higher-level protocols (you mentioned
one: XML) that could be used to provide information about PUA characters,
and they are all much better suited to that purpose than what you are
proposing.
