If you browse for it, you can't find it, but if you happen to know precisely the code you can see it.
Seems like a bug in the browser window, perhaps?

Created attachment 152373 [details] Screenshot of browse showing no characters found in region SUMMARY *** When browsing characters in the kcharselect, it shows everything in the current UI font. Not the selected font. This means if the font I'm looking through has custom or unusual glyphs, they don't display at all, or display something that is incorrect. Weirdly enough if you provide it the *precise* glyph number, it will show up. It's probably a bug with the browse mode. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run kcharselect 2. Select a custom OTF or OTF font 3. Look for customized characters that don't exist in your default system font 4. When the character doesn't exist, try providing the exact character number reference (or pasting it) and see that it shows up. OBSERVED RESULT Expected custom characters aren't visible in the browse window. EXPECTED RESULT All glyphs in any given font would be visible.
