I spoke too soon. The special chart type for the maps apparently accepts URI -encoded unicode chars, but NOT the regular chart API. If we try, for example, to use the value %e2%99%86 (Neptune) as the symbol to be plotted, the entire annotation list is not displayed at all. Only the "main" data set shows up. The chart API does accept arbitrary HTML entities, such as Ӓ or 覫 without "breaking", but most of the characters are not displayed properly. Only particular character sets within the Unicode domain are treated properly. And there does seem to be some specific substitutions going on, such as "a" for lower case alpha, stripping of accents etc. as detailed in my example above.
