  Unicode encodes scripts, not languages, so that's outside of its
scope.  Even if you were to develop a new character that would function
as a neutral gender pronoun in English or other languages, it would
still be attached to one (or several) language(s).  You're of course
free to advocate its use in all existing languages with a written
standard, but that would take some time ;-)  And even then, it would
leave out the vast majority of languages, those that are only spoken.
