Yes, that is the idea - I am using UTF-8 files in Xcode (Mac OS X
10.4.10). I have also found a Unicode font Euterpe that does it
correctly:

I also found (replies in the Unicode mailing list) some other
Unicode fonts, but U+1D19D is designed wrongly, as a Pralltriller,
instead of having only on peak and valley:

They have many other useful musical symbols, though.
So the question is how to choose musical symbols selectively from
different fonts, and the make say ornament symbols from that.
In general, the font handling library used in LilyPond will try to
find a matching font
that contains the symbol.
So does Mac OS X. Probably a necessity, as I think a Unicode font
only can contain a maximum of 2^16 = 65536 characters, whereas
Unicode has more than 100000. So, in order to cover all Unicode
characters, more than one font is needed.
Otherwise you can specify the font-name explicitly, for example
using a \markup{...} as shown in section "Font selection", at least
as the font works with
Unicode.
Thank you. I will look it up.
After a brief look at these fonts, I think one may have to choose
between them, to get the right glyphs. The state of the art. :-)
