Windows 10: Cannot See Private Use Characters in Character Map

I have been trying, to no avail to access private use characters from a font I downloaded. I am use to opening character map and copying and pasting the characters or glyphs that I need into my Cricut software, but I have been unable to. My PC has been updated and I have deleted and reinstalled the font. This is how it looks when I go to the selected font. All those empty boxes used to show as different characters. Please help.

Windows Character Map Private Characters

How do I insert a private character (made using the Private Character Editor) into a document? The Character Map instructions are not helpful as they only work with the special characters already contained in the map.

I am using windows 10 on a new laptop and for ages have been trying to generate and use private characters in my programs.

I have used private character editor and character map but nothing seems to work. Can you help me?

thanks Andre for replying to my question.

Using Private characters editor I am able to select a code for my character, (E030), draw the character, link it with all fonts and save it. I then close private characters editor.

Then I open Character map and copy and paste the character.

With number lock selected I press and hold the function and Alt keys and type in my character number (030) then I release the keys.What then appears in my word document is not my character but another character which is part of the Times Roman font.

Am I doing something wrong?

Brian.
