Ishida doesn't have a "picker" for Glagolitic, but I found his master utility that provides far more information about penguins than anyone could possibly want, and used it to tediously type all the codes for the Glagolitic letters into a table column; from there I'll be able to transfer them to the text as needed.
Thanks for the reference!

Since Andrew answered the other question, I'll try this one. I have found
that Windows Character map on XP and Office 2003 only recognize blocks
that were there in earlier versions (maybe Unicode 4.1). I don't know how
consistent this is (i.e. I haven't checked all the blocks) but I know it
is irritating to me and disconcerting to those who aren't aware of the
problem. The fonts probably do have those character sets and you can still
access them, either through a keyboard or through direct entry. In Word
2003 you can type the unicode codepoint, say 0259, select "0259" and type
<ALT>X. That should give you the schwa. Another useful tool is Richard
Ishida's character picker where you can choose your block and then choose
characters, then copy and paste the text into your application. However,
it doesn't look like it has all the blocks.
