Just put them straight in your document? For high/hard unicode
characters I use BabelMap, which will let you pick characters from the
unicode 5.1 space, which you can then copy/paste straight into your
document. XeTeX works with utf8 documents anyway, so unless your editor
somehow refuses to let you use them (get a better editor =D), there's
nothing stopping you just using any character in unicode directly
(except for the high/low surrogates of course, but then those are
illegal on their own in anyway).
