The code value to use is not a fixed value: it isn't as simple as
saying "use this code".

You are probably not setting the Encoding for the font you use. This
is a mistake, though you can get away with it for unaccented western
European. In all other cases you should set a known Encoding. Then you
will know what code to put in your strings.

Alternatively, in level 2 and above, you can use glyphshow.

There is absolutely no Unicode support: if you have been trying to
find that, you will not get the information you need.
