Unicode fonts like these are bad for a variety of reasons:

You can't search for the text
Cmd-F doesn't work
Screen readers don't recognize them as text - imagine if instead of seeing the text The, you saw "MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT CAPITAL T, MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT SMALL H, SCRIPT SMALL E". That's how the text appears to screen readers.
If the user doesn't have a font installed, it may appear partly or completely as "tofu" replacement characters

Maybe swap out with fancy font image + alt text?

The only reason that really applies here is the screenreader thing. I would merge a PR that puts in a fancy script image with alt text
