When the article said:

"In the end only one character had neither a clear source nor any historical precedent: 彁."

my instinct was that this character could be retconned to mean "character whose meaning has been lost", thus creating a self-referential paradox.

Presumably someone would have to then separately come up with a pronunciation for it. Perhaps pronouncing it "duangu" would solve another problem:
