Harold, what bug ? After downloading the tool, I don't encounter any
difficulty typing in glyphs directly from my keyboard using the formula
mentioned above, i e, «Alt + 0[*decimal* code for the desired glyph]. Thus,
for the tick «✓» which is glyph #10003, I hold down the «Alt» key and type
«010003» on the number pad with «Num Lock» on ; to enter 倀(chāng, the ghost
of a man eaten by a tiger), which is #20480, I hold down the «Alt» key and
type «020480». I ddid this on a 32-bit Windows XP Home setup. Doesn't this
procedure work for you ?...

PS : A list of the Unicode glyphs can be found here :
http://unicode.coeurlumiere.com/
I meant the bug Jim Allen reported concerning OpenOffice's not allowing
entry of Unicode via the standard Windows interface; to quote from *his*
e-mail (today, 15:29 UK time):
=== begin quote ===
As to entering such characters from the keyboard, OpenOffice.org still
does not support the standard way of entering Unicode characters in
Windows using the Alt key and the numeric keypad. I reported this in
February 2006 as issue 61540, but nothing has yet been done about it.
See http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=61540 .
=== end quote ===
The tool seems to work perfectly.
