I've updated https://gitlab.com/ds26gte/zdutf8 with a modifed devps/ZD file
that can be used to shadow the system devps/ZD.
(The COPYRIGHT file is just the boilerplate file Branden sent me. This is
really Tadziu Hoffmann's baby.)

Thanks, Tadziu!
Indeed, it works splendidly with a modified copy of devps/ZD located in a local
font directory so the system devps/ZD is not affected.

I think the simplest way to access the characters
using unicode would be to edit
/usr/share/groff/current/font/devps/ZD
(or wherever your font description files are located)
and give all those unnamed characters groff names:
u2701 974,621 3 33 a1
u2702 961,611 3 34 a2
u2703 974,621 3 35 a202
(etc.)
then you can just say
Hello \[u2701]\[u2702]\[u2703] world.
in your document without loading any macro file.
