Quote from 16.4: Standardized variation sequences are defined in the file

Technical Standard #37, “Unicode Ideographic Variation Database,” and are
listed in the Ideographic Variation Database. Only those two types of variation
sequences are sanctioned for use by conformant implementations. In all other
cases, use of a variation selector character does not change the visual
appearance of the preceding base character from what it would have had in the
absence of the variation selector.
This seems to not allow for private compact use of Variation Selectors. Am I
missing something here?
OK, then go back to my suggestion of simply using PUA characters as PUA
Variation Selectors. TUS neither prescribes what to do with PUA chars
nor forbids any use they may be put to.
