  The list of code-points is not a part of the font. It can be loaded separately into font collection item Codepoints property. The format is the following:

  
  

  ab-testing F01C9

  abacus F16E0

  abjad-arabic F1328

  abjad-hebrew F1329

  abugida-devanagari F132A

  abugida-thai F132B

  access-point F0003

  access-point-check F1538

  ...

  
  

  However, it's not a good idea to store such a big list of codepoints in form's dfm file. So, i would suggest to work without codepoint list, typing hex numbers directly.

  Hi Eugene,

  
  

  Thanks for your answer, however it seems that large unicode codes are not supported by TLMDFontCollection:

  
  

  For example this char (F09F0):

  see Image A

  
  

  I put the code-point:

  see Image B
  

  
  

  But when i select the image it looses the first F and gets me the respective Glyph

  see Image C

  
  

  If I type directly in the object inspector:

  See Image D

  
  

  How can I enter codes larger then 65535?

  Hmm. We use WideChar which is two bytes long in Delphi. I need to think how to process such values.

  Thanks, hope the component can support longer values in the near future
