Generally, new CJK Ideographs proposed by members of the IRG (Ideographic Research Group) go through several rounds of exchanges/discussions until they get approved or possibly postponed or rejected.

For instance, here is the page dedicated to UK-20538 ⿰㐅也 (with images as "pieces of evidence"), which eventually made its way to Unicode 17.0, encoded as U+323BF 𲎿 :

The latest post on the Unicode Blog gives some important details about the future character repertoire in Unicode 18.0, notably the addition of 11,328 "Small Seal" ideographic characters, plus 965 "Jurchen" characters and radicals . It also offers very clear insights about the work of the UTC (Unicode Technical Committee) on CJK & Unihan characters, in collaboration with the IRG (Ideographic Research Group).

The Ideographic Research Group (IRG) is responsible for preparing and reviewing sets of CJK unified ideographs to be included in the Unicode Standard.

It has recently made available a useful list of so-called disunified CJK ideographs, coming with images of glyphs and IRG source references, which also provides links to documents giving the rationale behind each disunification:
