[XeTeX] Accessing individual Unicode characters

[David Perry]

Yes, just enter \char"XXXX in your document (that's a double quote 
followed directly by the hex digits).  I would, however, use OpenType 
features to access these whenever possible (I don't suppose that works 
for "symbols and stuff" but it certainly will for ligatures, various 
types of numerals, small caps, etc., and XeTeX is one of the few apps 
that can easily control OT features).
