The character is available in Junicode (though at the old codepoint), and it would be fairly easy to embed a single-character webfont using that. Am I correct in thinking that...
Perfect. Would you, then, be able to create a single-character font that takes U+F161 from [Junicode](http://junicode.sourceforge.net) and supplies it at U+2E4E? If not, I imagine I could figure it out...
There are several fonts with this character, but I think they're all still using the old private-use area codepoint from [MUFI](http://mufi.info). A less alternative is the 'turned semicolon', U+2E35, but...
