My first choice as theoretical Quentin wouldn't be "how can I frame this accidental, perhaps even flagrantly disrespectful omission as antiprogressive and dissect the credentials, experience, and ethnicity of the people who made the mistake via culture essay," it would probably be "where do I issue a pull request to fix this mistake or in what way can I help?"
Maybe that's just me. I look forward to the future where any mistake not involving a straight white Anglo-Saxon man or his customs can be built up as antiprogressive agenda, and the best advocacy is taking the people who made them down rather than fixing the problem that is the, you know, problem.
(As an aside, imagine my surprise to see a Model View Culture link on HN given how much MVC absolutely hates and criticizes HN, including a weekly "worst of HN" comment dissection.)
Anyone can propose the addition of a new character to Unicode. It doesn't take $18,000 as some people think. You just need to convince the Unicode Consortium that it makes sense (preferably with solid evidence on use of the character). The process is discussed at: http://unicode.org/pending/proposals.html
I have a proposal of my own in the works to add a character to Unicode, so I'll see how it goes. There's a discussion of how someone successfully got the power symbol added to Unicode at https://github.com/jloughry/Unicode so take a look if you're thinking of proposing a character.
