I'm not sure what the blue and black characters are, because I'm using  
a demo version which shows the basic glyphs as black, but all the rest  
as grey (disabled).

PopChar is making a rather broad statement. There are many meanings  
for "support", but like I said before, Creator does indeed support  
Unicode in every sense, except for the pdf output. I can insert any  
glyph from OS X's built-in Character Palette (and PopChar is just a  
slightly fancier version of that), so I'm not sure why PopChar is not  
letting your insert some glyphs. You *have* purchased and registered  
it, haven't you?
