Those were proposals at the time they were written, but if you check the 
current Standard you'll find that U+1CEC is present in UnicodeData.txt:

     1CEC;VEDIC SIGN ANUSVARA VAMAGOMUKHA WITH TAIL;Lo;0;L;;;;;N;;;;;

According to DerivedAge.txt, it looks like it's been in the Standard 
since v5.2.

So there's no question what codepoint to use. I guess your main issue 
may be finding fonts that support it.
