    Dingbats are old school t1 without proper names so we can't use
    unicodes. However, there is a goodie that should do that so that in
    principle it should work with unicodes but there is some interference
    going on (i'll look at that)
For nwo access by 'name' or 'index' (these are kind of stable for such
    an old font):
      n:a34  : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a34}}  \par
           n:a35  : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a35}}  \par
           i:48   : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{i:48}}   \par
           i:49   : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{i:49}}   \par
           n:a104 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a104}} \par
           n:a105 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a105}} \par
Thank you Hans!
Access by glyph index with \tochar{i:19} works well for both MKIV and 
LMTX. Access by name with \tochar{n:a39} does not work in LMTX with log 
message: char ✓ (U+02713) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing. 
Also \ShowCompleteFont does not report any glyph names in LMTX.
should be a bit better in yesterdays upload (i also changed the file 
name alias so that in pinciple unicode should work too)
