I for one have always thought it would be interesting to develop a
Unicode character that provides a symbol representing a neutral gender

Interesting ... if we can come up with a nice symbol that we can agree
on it should be doable to get it included in quite some tex related
fonts (the group involved in maintaining them is not so large) ... and
then we can set a standard. After all, symbols like copyright and
registered made it into fonts and those are used (if at all) only a few
times in documents and in unseen places.
Maybe arthur knows if there are scripts that have such a symbol. Of
course then there is the issue of how to pronounce it.
