Some people can actually remember character code numbers and do this with great speed. You would do this if you cannot find a desired character in the dictionaries. See the examples in Using Uninitiated Characters(8- 2) and Using the Character in a Document (Chinese)(2C- 50) and ( Japanese)(2J- 49).

To enter the text, type the glossary key. Reference To enter a character by reference, think of a word that uses multiple characters and uses the character you want and another character you know. Enter the character you know, then select Translate Lookup Word or Phrase(3- 30) display the word. Select then paste the word into your document, and delete the unwanted character.
