Or here's the character directly: ✪ \stoptext

...still not working. But KCharSelect says that the Dingbats font has a glyph at 0x272a.

And yet if I run mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* | grep dingbats immediately after that ConTeXt run, in the same shell session, I see: dingbats dingbats /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm dingbatsnormal dingbats /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm

Also doesn't work if I reference the afm file directly using \definefontsynonym [sans][/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm]
