Is the scope of Unicode unchangeable for ever?

[William_J_G Overington]

Is the scope of Unicode unchangeable for ever?
 
 
As in being guaranteed never to be changed as part of a stability 
guarantee or something like that?
 
 
Or could the scope be changed if the Unicode Technical Committee wanted 
to allow some items not presently regarded as being in scope to become 
regarded as being in scope?
 
 
Was the scope enlarged when emoji were encoded?
 
 
This question is being asked as a general question. Clearly this has 
arisen now because I have been informed that some items that I would 
like encoded into Unicode are out of scope, but I am wondering what is 
the general answer on whether the scope of what items can be encoded is 
locked into what was decided many years ago or could it become widened 
if the Unicode Technical Committee wanted to do that.
