By clicking on the Select button, in the Character to Glyph Index Mappings window, a new window will pop up. Here you can select a Unicode value.
Note: If you take a look at the first two blocks (Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement) you'll notice that glyph mappings between 0 and 31 and between 127 and 159 are not accessible in Windows.
The steps below map a glyph to a character, this way you can use the glyph in many sophisticated word processors and most DTP applications:
| • | In the Glyph Overview window select the glyph you want to map to a specific character |
| • | Right click on it and select Properties |
| • | Go to the Mappings tab to open the Mappings page |
| • | Select a Microsoft platform (e.g. Microsoft Unicode BMP only or Microsoft Symbol) |
| • | In the top pane select a block to which the glyph belongs but do not press the OK button at this stage. |
| • | Now in the bottom pane select a character that matches your glyph. You should only select a character that hasn't already got a glyph assigned. |
| • | For example select the "Latin Extended-B" block. (Select "Basic Latin" and select "LATIN SMALL LETTER A" when you want to assign glyph "a") and press the OK button. |
