Alas, the whole point of the section where I use the clef is to show how to deal with exotic UTF-16 characters that don't fit into 16 bits. I could of course hunt for another one that is more widely supported. FWIW, every one of the first 65,536 Unicode characters that I've used in my text shows up nicely. Its the really exotic ones that don't.
