G-clef [OT]

Explanation: for use in a musical newsletter. The G-clef is the dingus you
see on a musical staff that indicates the treble clef. The top staff on a
piano score.

Assume that you have jiggered up the keyboard to have a compose key.
This will allow you to make things like ¢ and € and £ and all sorts of
accented characters for French, Spanish, Italian, German, maybe even
Polish--I wouldn't know about the latter--by hitting the compose key
and two other keys in succession. These are actually Unicode characters.
Is there a way to generate a G-clef (Unicode 1D11E) using a simple input
from the keyboard, preferably with the compose key? If that works in
Linux, it probably works in Windows; (it's probably dependent on the
machine, not the OS.) Will it work on a Mac? If so, how?

(There are various contributors; the final draft is done on a Mac--not 
by me.)
