Windows 10: Transfer font characters from map to document

I desire to put a special character almost equal from a Arial map into a document created with Lotus Wordpro. Some characters, like the degree sign work OK, but many others in the map, especially with Unicode, do not put the selected character in the document. I am using the drag and drop method. Why is this not working across the board?Is it necessary that the font in the map match the font in the document?Does it matter that the document creating program is old like Wordpro verses new like LibreOffice? Are certain word processors better than others for this particular purpose?

Private Character Created but Missing in Character Map

Hi, I am trying to make custom characters in windows Private Character Editor, but when I try to find "All Fonts" in Character Map to access my custom character, it isn't there. These are the steps I followed:

In Private Character Editor

>File

>Font Links...

>Select 'Link with All Fonts'

>OK

Open Character Map

>Select 'All Fonts' from dropdown (I can't do because my dropdown list does not have the option to select 'All Fonts')

>Find and select the Private Character I just created, and copy into a text-based document

Why is font not displayed in Character Map


Recently upgraded to Win 10. Since then, added new font, Helvetica Neue. It shows in File Explorer, it shows in apps generally (see image) but it doesn't show in Character Map. Why not?
