Thanks, Brian, but I have gone through all the fonts and I cannot find that character. As it is not a common character, I wonder if the OOo devs thought to include it in that dialogue. I should have phrased my question such: How does one add a character directly, without having to find it in the lists?

Basically, you don't. As you may know, there are ways of inserting characters without searching through the list (which are dependent on your operating system), but if the character does not exist in the font you are using, there is no way that you can display or print it, of course. Finding a keyboard shortcut to insert the character won't make it appear when it is simply not there. Most fonts do not contain most characters. Your required character, U+2699, exists in my DejaVu Sans under Windows.
