That is the whole point of my comments. They cannot ever see it unless they are running on an Apple platform. Unless they wanted to see an empty box, the symbol is meaningless to non-Apple users. That is why I asked 'Can you see it?'
Even posting the 'U+261A' glyph here on HN renders nothing and a box on other sites and that is defined in the standard; but they still cannot see it.
So that is a definite 'No' then for '' aka (U+F8FF) and the same for 'U+261A'? OK.

It has been indirectly admitted. Case closed.
