That patch works for me.

Itʼs essentially doing 'cat' on a .gz file. Thereʼs no guarantee
whatsoever that the result is valid. And in fact doing exactly that
crashes the same way (without the patch).

Interestingly, under macOS it displays a proper glyph using
"mac-ct:-*-Hannotate TC-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1
(#x933F)", so somebody has decided that codepoint is good for something.
