It is unlikely that such characters would be considered, but the way to 
add an additional character to anyplace is pretty much the same: submit 
a proposal, as described on https://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html

What were you thinking of adding?  Things like a bent-neck LAMED or more 
"wide" letters are pretty much guaranteed non-starters, I would guess.  
A "closed" QOF or the broken VAV (as is traditionally written in Numbers 
25:12) would at best be a very tough sell.
