Perhaps that is the issue that needs addressing.

Could all the symbols in the document

ISO 7000 / IEC 60417 Graphical symbols for use on equipment 
<https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:pub:PUB400008:en>

be encoded in the order given, in plane 5?

No samples needed, the fact that the symbols are published in an ISO / 
IEC document being enough evidence for encoding.

Using a new policy made in 2023 as a result of discussions in this 
discussion thread.

If not, why not? Please discuss if you choose to do so.

For an application example, suppose that someone is designing the 
artwork for the manufacture of the front panel of a piece of equipment.

Best regards,
