Only if we think that Jon's a Templar.
Now, about the wingding/fleuron: use an image. I mean, I hate to be ye olden cold bucket of water, but you cannot control whether or not the font you use or embed will be seen on the device. Even some of the (Shan't be Named, as Kovid Hates them, ha!) devices can and do override embedded fonts. Thus, you're somewhat screwed. You can't be certain that the Unicode will work, despite the name.
Using one small fleuron graphic, and calling it nine million times or whatever, adds virtually no weight to the book, so... why not? And yes, I know, someone's going to have a cow, and say that in night or sepia or green mode that the white background to the image is visible, and yes, so it is, but if you're "going wide" with distribution, you simply don't have the same type of control that you can, if you're converting the book for yourself.
