the \ character is (IMHO) far more generally used for this purpose.
If you add a note as to its use prior to the first usage in the document
you may save trouble for readers and clarify any misunderstandings.

Yes - Zapf Dingbats is one of the 14 base fonts that are guaranteed to be available for PDF files - unless your experience suggests otherwise? It certainly always seems to have been fine for me.

I find that surprising.
Guaranteed by whom? The acrobat reader? The PDF 'standard'?
What of people who use other readers?
I hadn't realised PDF files 'carried' fonts.

With such an odd character I guess you'll still have to explain it for your readers? That is means the line continues... and should all be on one line.
