The OP’s post and references seem rather clear that it is intended as a normal character, for use with normal text, often handwritten, and used in plain-text environments (e.g. “mostly in elementary schools” and “for grading schoolwork”).

I would think the process for proposing normal characters would need to be followed, and this should not be proposed as an emoji for the purpose of getting it encoded via the easier emoji process.
