Surely you want the new symbol to be interned, so that it can be read?
Then you want (intern new-name). (This also allows you to re-use an
existing "new-foo" symbol if it exists, which again you surely want.)

What happened instead? Perhaps you simply mean that (fboundp
'new-forward-char) was nil afterwards, which would be a result of your
uninterned symbol. But maybe you mean something else?
