Thanks! I found that the "Kurinto Sans" font contains the wastebasket
Unicode character and I installed it.
The attached screenshot shows an example.

I want to use that font in a PluggableButtonMorph.
But here is the font: method in that class:

font: someFont
    PopUpMenu inform: 'You can''t set this'

Yikes! I wonder why we're not allowed to set the font for that kind of
