Detect an Unicode glyph with javascript

In my Route planner toy, I use the airplane character from unicode (✈) for the airports. I got a complaint today, that it looked crap because they only got a little square instead of a plane. Of course not all machines are going to have a font containing the plane character, so what are the options?
