Yes, certainly. I am not suggesting that private use registries would have
any official unicode status, rather that they might be a convenient
self-help facility for the user community. Certainly, where a large
corporation has a large collection of such characters it might be that that
corporation would be its own registry. However, for circumstances where a
lot of people might have a few characters each it seems to me that a private
registry might be a convenient way of making characters available. One
non-exclusive possibility is that a font designer might run a private
registry and, say, produce a font called fontE807.ttf for registry E807.
