Generally, new CJK Ideographs proposed by members of the IRG (Ideographic Research Group) go through several rounds of exchanges/discussions until they get approved or possibly postponed or rejected.
For instance, here is the page dedicated to UK-20538 ⿰㐅也 (with images as "pieces of evidence"), which eventually made its way to Unicode 17.0, encoded as U+323BF :

The Ideographic Research Group (IRG) is responsible for preparing and reviewing sets of CJK unified ideographs to be included in the Unicode Standard.
It has recently made available a useful list of so-called disunified CJK ideographs, coming with images of glyphs and IRG source references, which also provides links to documents giving the rationale behind each disunification:

As you might expect, my main application Unicopedia Plus relies heavily on #Unicode...
Today, I updated the #Electron framework to its latest major version 39.0.0, hoping it would at last bring full support to Unicode 16.0, published by the UTC in September 2024 , but unfortunately no; it is still stuck in Unicode 15.1, published in September 2023! Moreover, Unicode 17.0 has already been officially released...
