Works Just Fine For Me!

$ printf "\U1f313\t\U1f313\t\U1f313\t\U1f313\t\U1f313\n"
🌓	🌓	🌓	🌓	🌓
$ v=`printf "\U1f313\t\U1f313\t\U1f313\t\U1f313\t\U1f313\n"`
$ echo $v
🌓 🌓 🌓 🌓 🌓

For mintty you need suitable fonts installed under MS Windows (or font linking 
fallbacks) rather than Cygwin fontconfig:

	$ fc-list :charset=0x1f313

gives me a *long* list summarized as DejaVu, any emoji fonts including Segoe UI 
Emoji, some symbol fonts including Symbola and Segoe UI Symbol, TeX Church 
Slavonic collection, fallbacks including Unifont and Last Resort fonts.
