Easy.
So I tried it. Got the Character Map window, found the copyright char, double clicked on it, went to another window, clicked on it, went to the Edit menu and selected Paste ... and a capital O with an acute accent appeared at the cursor point in the window. Tried it with a few other chars. The plus-or-minus sign worked. The rest gave a different glyph than I had selected. The Character Map window still showed all the chars that I had selected, but only the one appeared the same in the other window.
