You're not overlooking anything: this isn't currently included in SMuFL. I
don't personally think it should be included, since it's really just two
existing glyphs overlapped, rather than a distinctive glyph in its own
right.

It's possible that a SMuFL-compliant font might want to include this
symbol as (e.g.) a ligature, but unless there is an outcry of support from
the community for it, I'd be disinclined to include it in Bravura.
