Unicode Hex Input half note?

I am trying to insert a half note symbol in word for mac .... the unicode hex input for a half note is 1D15E which is too long for the unicode hex keyboard. So I used a surrogate pair calculator to find the unicode surrogate pair (D834+DD5E). HOWEVER, my mac doesn't seem to recognize this entry ...

Even the surrogate pair calculator pair gives me the empty box symbol (see below) any suggestions?

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, iOS 10.3.1

Do you have a font installed on the Mac that supports unicode musical symbols, and in particular, the half note? Until you do, you will get an empty box, like I do when I enter half note into the Mac character viewer.
