Acceptable, sure. I'm just surprised there's not an easier way.

Which is why I chose something ubiquitous to test this with: the fi 
ligature. It's in most fonts, and it's definitely in Times New Roman and 
Arial.

I just tried this again in Notepad, explicitly specifying Times New 
Roman. When you type ALT 61441 in Notepad, do you get an fi ligature, or 
something else?
