You probably mean U+217D, not U+271D.
This is one of the famous Zapf dingbats, available in dedicated fonts;
you don't really need Unicode fonts in order to typeset it. Try the
instructions by Adam Lindsay
(http://web.archive.org/web/20061130021250/homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ZapfDingbats.pdf)
An alternative with Mark IV: just find a font that contains that
character. You can look for it with BabelPad on Windows /
UnicodeChecker on Mac OS / gucharmap on Linux. Then, just use the font
with the \definefont command.
