Today, I wrote a document by hand containing a new symbol that only looks like genitalia if you squint really hard. Where do I apply to have it included in unicode so that it can be digitized properly?

Rule-lawyering wise-asses try to mess with many policies. It's rarely a sensible indictment of a policy, nor is it very effective. Anyone dealing with such people just ignores them.

What's the criterion that includes the document in the tweet, but excludes the document referenced by the GP?

I don't see any anything on the inclusion of symbols that are not icons, such as U+A66E, or the symbol proposed by bityard.

Can you reuse 𓂸 or 𓂺?

Lol I never knew those existed. Apparently they're egyption hieroglyphs but it really makes me wonder the meanings of them now :)

I also wonder how these didn't become insanely popular overnight, like the famous eggplant.

Given that “𓂸” (U+130B8) is already in unicode (and related 𓂹,𓂺) pretty sure the only problem is you made it up, not that it looks like genitilia
