Is it possible for Unicode standard to deprecate characters? If yes, has it already happened?

I don't think so. It would make it impossible to talk about deprecated characters ever again, even in a historical context.

Unicode contains even some ancient and long forgotten scripts so historians can keep proper records of them.
