Adding a Navajo Ogonek to Combining Diacritical Marks Extended unicode block Sticky

Navajo speakers; we plan on adding a centered version of the Combining Ogonek [U+0328] character to Silver (example of existing Ogonek  below);

Ą 

into the mostly empty Combining Diacritical Marks Extended block [1AB0—1AFF].  This is seemingly an issue with the current Ogonek character overlapping between Polish/Lithuanian and Navajo, with the current Combining Ogonek [U+0328] character being set off to the far right side of the character rather than the center, which is standard in Navajo. 

A safe candidate would be ᫿ [U+1AFF], as it is at the end of the Combining Diacritical Marks Extended block [1AB0—1AFF], and runs little risk of being over-written by any near-future update to the Unicode stardard.

Would this be desirable or too out of the normal Unicode range of what you are able to type?

After some feedback from the Unicode community in this thread; https://twitter.com/WorkWithPoppy/status/1149927690595700737 we will be adding the Navajo Ogonek into the Private Use area. If you are a user or speaker of this language, please consider voicing your opinion below!
