Hi Kyle,

I think you might be out of luck, unless someone has a brilliant workaround. Right now, IDL's graphics only handle 16-bit Unicode characters (up to $FFFF). Here's the error I get:

w = WINDOW()
; Works fine
t = TEXT(0.5, 0.5, "$\U(266A,266C) \Pluto's really small \U(266B)$")
; Doesn't work
t = TEXT(0.5, 0.5, "$\U(10900)$", font_size=48)
% IDLGRSRCDEST::GETTEXTDIMENSIONS: Error using Hershey characters: !Z hexadecimal value too large.
% IDLGRMODEL::DRAW: Error using Hershey characters: !Z hexadecimal value too large.
