You can get a code point very easily, not only by searching in the unicode
charts but by tools like http://shapecatcher.com/. Of cause you can enter the
character name (see below), but that is cumbersome compared with entering the
number.

It is likely, that you do _not_ know the font. For example write U+232c and
toggle it to unicode. I bet, you get a benzene ring by font fall back. Now tell
me which font it is and whether you own other fonts which have this character.

If you have entered the character name correctly and so the search is active,
then scrolling the font list works, although the field does not show the
correct number. It is good, that this works, so please make no changes, which
would disable this feature.
