Review Comments
IRG PnP 2.1.1.c says: characters must be used in script as characters in text. Logos and images used separately from running text are not acceptable.
According to the provided evidence, ⿱雨仙 is a non-ideograph sign created for talismans drawn by a special eye. It can only be used as parts of talismans. Thus, ⿱雨仙 should not be encoded as a CJKUI.
According to page 17 of the same book(廣成儀制・鐵鏆施食集), ⿱雨仙 is used with following signs:
According to our database, ⿱雨仙 can be used as a God's name. However, we found only one related case. Because the secret names of Daoist Gods can be created freely, we consider it a nonce ideograph which is still not qualified for encoding.
If the submitter can provide more text use cases, then it is OK to encode it.
