If you can find the character you require in the Windows "Character Map" utilty (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map), I think it should tell you its unicode character number, and you ought to be able to type this in directly as an ALT+.... sequence on your keypad. But reading your post carefully, I see you say this works for you in other Apps but not in FM - in which case, it sounds like a bug that should be reported to Adobe.
One workaround might be to get a stock of the characters you'll use a lot pasted into Notepad, and then copy-paste them out of there one at a time as required into Frame (tedious as hell, but better than nothing).
