I'm trying to output "Open Centre Black Star", u282B, but I get a
"missing glyph" symbol in Squiggle. I'm running Sun JDK 1.4.2_03 on
Linux. Is there a font-family I can specify to make it work, do I need
to do something with Java fonts, or is it possible at all?

If you have this as a TrueType font you can reference the font file directly using either an @font-face CSS rule or the font-face element in SVG. There is an example that shows how this is done in samples/tests/spec/font/fontFace.svg

xfontsel(1) correctly displays the symbol when I select
-*-dingbats-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* , so there is at least some font
on the system that has this glyph.

Font mapping on UNIX isn't trivial - they may still be using the jre/lib/font.properties file - of course they may not...
