Failure: it simple prints the literal codepoint: U+1F311
This, for example, works, but only with Aqua and SVG terminals; it fails in PDF (prints the literal "G"):
"" u (myDateSP(1,2)):3:((strcol(4) eq "First") ? ("G"):1/0) w labels left font "Moon Phases,28" offset -4,0,\
(Moon Phases is an old symbol font; it fails in PDF using any of its variants: TTF, PS, OTF.)
