It's a hack but this works:
cairo_pdf("utftext.pdf", family="Calibri")
plot(0:1,0:1, type="n")
points(0.2, 1, pch=16)
mtext(
text = "pch=16 (\U25CF)",
side = 3,
at = 0.2,
line = 1,
)
points(0.8, 1, pch=17); points(0.85, 1.1, pch=17, xpd=TRUE)
# par(xpd=TRUE) lets plotting go outside the usual clipping box.
mtext(
text = "pch=17 ( )", # makes room for the triangle
side = 3,
at = 0.8,
line = 1
)
dev.off()
