Ergo this issue should be handled by the font. For example, in the font the character moves to its final position in Unicode (U+FE10), but the former (unofficial) position (U+E78D) contains a reference to U+FE10. This way, if someone has a document which uses U+E78D instead of the new codepoint, the user can still display the correct glyph. Means: keep it for backward compatibility, but provide a software tool to the user to convert his old documents so that the old PUA codepoints get replaced with the new official codepoints.
