--- Comment #9 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Behavior attempting to use SMP character as a bullet is correct, if unexpected.
We don't seem to support non-BMP glyphs as bullets.

Working with a Flat ODF, edit and directly inserting SMP glyph into the
"text:bullet-char" value of the  <text:list-level-style-bullet text:level="1"
text:style-name="Bullet_20_Symbols" text:bullet-char="">

On parsing the ODF, the SMP bullet is not rendered, and is removed when ODF is
saved--the font assigned to the bullet remains unchanged.

So, seems it is not an issue with the cuicharmap.cxx Special Character dialog
for selecting font and picking a glyph from SMP, rather something fundamental
in handling the glyphs assigned as bullets.

Currently only characters drawn from the Unicode BMP can be assigned,
enhancement needed to expand that into the SMP. 

Reading ODF v1.3 [1] 19.765 or ODF v1.2 [2] 19.760 character can be any single
Unicode glyph--i.e. SMP is not excluded from use.
