Er, Finale doesn't do Unicode, so what use would that be in Finale?  

And, of course, you'd still have to have a font that had that 
character defined. That is, just because the Unicode standard 
allocates a slot for a particular glyph doesn't mean that every font 
implements every glyph (if you think about it, you'd realize that 
would be silly -- it would require 65K-odd glyphs defined in every 
font).

It also seems peculiar to me that so many people would suggest add-on 
fonts when one of the fonts included with Finale since at least 
Finale 3.x (i.e., Toccatta) includes the requested glyph, unless, of 
course, the add-on font is superior to Toccatta (so far as I recall, 
nobody has suggested that, but it could still be true).

Doesn't everyone examine the fonts that come with Finale for useful 
items?
