Well languages and conventions change. The € sign was added not that long ago and it was somewhat painful. The Chinese language uses a single character to refer to chemical elements so when IUPAC names new elements they will invent new characters. Etc.

Does unicode have space set aside for those new symbols to slot into? I know it's very rare, but it could get messy.

Unicode is already messy. Chinese characters especially so due to han unificiation.
