Hi,
In XeTeX, you can also use \XeTeXcharglyph to get the (font dependant) glyph
number for the character code.
\newcount\buffer
{%
\font\1="[./NotoSansManichaean-Regular.ttf] :script=mani"\1
\global\buffer\XeTeXcharglyph"FE00\relax
\XeTeXglyph\buffer\relax % prints the glyph
}
\number\buffer % prints the glpyh number
{% short
\font\1="[./NotoSansManichaean-Regular.ttf] :script=mani"\1
\XeTeXglyph\XeTeXcharglyph"FE00\relax
}

I checked. In Unicode this slot is default-ignorable and both XeTeX
and LuaTeX do not print glyphs with that attribute (probably because
the aren't not meant for printing).
In luaTeX (but not in XeTeX I think) you can change this behavior.
