The Symbola font includes all unicode glyphs for moon phases.

In these 4 labels, the last two work. All glyphs appear in OSX Font Book; when inserted as symbols into the BBedit command file, the symbols appear correctly; the BBedit file is saved as UTF8; UTF8 is set in the terminal. The SVG terminal displays all the characters properly; the Aqua and PDF terminals display only the First and Last Quarters properly.

"" u (myDateSP(1,2)):3:((strcol(4) eq "New") ?  ("🌑"):1/0) w labels left font "Symbola,28" offset -4,0,\
"" u (myDateSP(1,2)):3:((strcol(4) eq "Full") ?  ("🌕"):1/0) w labels left font "Symbola,28" offset -4,0,\
"" u (myDateSP(1,2)):3:((strcol(4) eq "First") ?  ("☽"):1/0) w labels left font "Symbola,28" offset -4,0,\
"" u (myDateSP(1,2)):3:((strcol(4) eq "Last") ?  ("☾"):1/0) w labels left font "Symbola,28" offset -4,0,\

Neither of these terminal setups seems to help:

set terminal pdfcairo enhanced size 13.5,9.8
set term pdfcairo enhanced  font "Symbola" size 13.5,9.8
