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.
The evidence UK provided is from a book named "梵音斗科". ⿺鬼索 is only found in this book, which is written and published by Mr. Lou Jinyuan(娄近垣) in the Qing Dynasty.
Considering that:
• ⿺鬼索 is seen only in a song for a special ceremony to communicate with a God. Meanwhile, the ceremony was recorded only in the book "梵音斗科". The book has not been reorganized and published again since its initial publication, and the ideographs have not been quoted by anyone.
• Mr. Lou Jinyuan(娄近垣) should be famous at least among the Daoists in the Qing Dynasty. But we don't know if he is still well-known nowadays. The submitter didn't provide any related illustrations.
• The submitter didn't explain the meanings and rationale of ⿺鬼索. For self-published books, ideographs used in them can be created very freely.
So:
After analysis, we can find that there are one or two factors that argue for encoding, but two or three factors that argue against encoding. Since it is not required for use in government databases, I think it is reasonable to ask for further investigation.
