In LuaTeX you can associate a font family to a range or a group of
characters. In a book I typesetted some time ago I used the Cardo font
to represent the characters for Private Use Area.

\newfontfamily\cardo{Cardo} % a fontspec command

\def\puatext#1{{\cardo #1}}

  \begin{luacode*}
  function my_pua (text)
  texto = unicode.utf8.gsub ( text, "([\u{e000}-\u{f8ff}])", "\\puatext{%1}" )
  return text
  end
  \end{luacode*}

  \newcommand\activatepuatext{\directlua{luatexbase.add_to_callback
      ( "process_input_buffer" , my_pua , "my_pua" )}}

\AtBeginDocument{\activatepuatext}

(I add a simple substitution to the callback `process_imput_buffer'
[see: http://wiki.luatex.org/index.php/Callbacks], but these kinds of
overrides can also be do from Org using a custom filter).
