I’m revising a font because the previous font designer had put a glyph at Unicode 32. I’d like to move it but I can’t see it to copy/paste it to a new location.

The date stamp of the font is 2006 so obviously, a different program was used to create it.

Unicode 33 (.notdef) is visible but nothing before 33.

The glyph at Unicode 32 is **U+0020 SPACE** , so it is expected to appear empty. That is why you do not see anything to copy from the glyph cell itself.

Also, **.notdef is not Unicode 33**. `.notdef` is the special fallback glyph (at index 0) and does not have a Unicode code point.

If the outline was really assigned to U+0020 by the original designer, the best approach is usually **not** to copy and paste it, but to **change the glyph’s Unicode assignment** to the correct code point.

So in short:

- **U+0020 SPACE** is normally blank
- **.notdef** is a special glyph, not a Unicode character
- If needed, reassign the glyph to the proper Unicode value instead of copying it from the space character

If you want, I can also explain the exact steps in FontCreator to reassign that glyph.
