While visually identical, the Geneva 12 rabbit and the control panel rabbit
are not related - the turtle for example is not in any font (that I know of).
This character position - ASCII 217 decimal - seems to be used for a means of
MacExpression by MacFont MacDevelopers.  However, even in whimsey they use the
same character in double size fonts - the Geneva 24 font has a larger more
detailed - rabbit.  Other fonts have candles, robots, flowers, bear paws, and
sheep.  That's right, sheep.
