I don't have any experience in creating new characters or with the program you are using, but here are my two cents.

If you are creating a completely new character, it would not be recognized by unicode. For example, because the snowman Ripto posted (☃) is a character that is recognized by unicode, it displays on Wikia. If he had posted a character he created himself, it would not display, because unicode would not recognize it.

If you want to go about creating new characters, I think you would have to create/edit a font. You could also use an image or use one of the thousands of unicode characters that are already recognized.
