Wow! This fixes an issue that has persisted 20 years in direct graphics. For those of us still stuck on then even more ancient PODG (plain-ole-direct-graphics), you can invoke the DejaVuSans font using the formatting code !10. E.g.:

xyouts,.5,.5,/normal,'M!D!10!Z(2299)!X!N',CHARSIZE=2,FONT=1

I see now that sunsymbol.pro has updated, using the more astronomically correct symbol at !Z(2609). Either works (pick your favorite).
