Okay, so the short answer to my query is: No, "tally five" is not encoded
and there is no combining character that will yield the desired result.
As to whether this is is something that should be encoded, I lean toward
it on the grounds that it is conventionalized, unlike the various sorts
of tallying that Philippe Verdy mentions, and rather like the Chinese
counting rod systems. But I do not want to get into a big fight about
whether it belongs in Unicode - there are more productive ways of spending
one's time.
