Sorry, I omitted that when copying my code...

\starttypescript [sans][dingbats][name]
  \definefontsynonym [Sans][name:dingbats]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface [dingbats][ss][sans][dingbats][default]
\starttext
{\getnamedglyphdirect{dingbats}{0x272a}}

Or here's the character directly: ✪
\stoptext

...still not working. But KCharSelect says that the Dingbats font has
a glyph at 0x272a.

And yet if I run mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* | grep dingbats
immediately after that ConTeXt run, in the same shell session, I see:
dingbats                             dingbats
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm
dingbatsnormal                       dingbats
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm

Also doesn't work if I reference the afm file directly using
  \definefontsynonym [sans][/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm]
