That's precisely what BravuraText (or any other [SMuFL]Text font) was
designed for, so most of the glyphs are re-positioned/sized to follow the
normal text baseline rather than their music positioning and size. They
usually have zero-width side bearings, though, so you'll need to add some
manual space around each symbol.
There's still the issue with actually getting the symbol as a unicode char.
Whether you use Bravura, Emmentaler, or virtually any other
non-Sibelius/Finale/etc. font, you'll may need to use some character viewer
to be able to view+select+copy+paste it into your editing app. On the one
hand, if you did want to use BravuraText, I suggest going to the SMuFL
gitbook <https://w3c.github.io/smufl/gitbook/> which uses real characters
at their real code points which you can select+copy+paste just like normal
text. You just need to have a SMuFL font installed like BravuraText to
render the character correctly. I've done that many times.
HTH,
Abraham
