As far as I know, FontCreator does support the Supplementary Private Use areas

F0000..FFFFF; Supplementary Private Use Area-A
100000..10FFFF; Supplementary Private Use Area-B

You should be able to add glyphs from this range using the Insert Characters dialogue.

Yes, FontCreator 5.6 does support the two Supplementary Private Use Areas.

I learned how to use them a few months ago after some help from Erwin.

High Plane Unicode Mapping

I am trying to learn how to map a cell to a codepoint in a Unicode High Plane. Here is the transcript thus far. Start a new font using FontCreator 5.6. Save as HIGHM001.TTF High Plane Mapping 001. Please consider the following document. http://www.unicode.org/~scherer/emoji4unicode/snapshot/utc.html The rightmost column has plane 15 Private Use Area mappings. Choose U+FE00D RAINBOW for this example as a glyph with the general shape can be easily produced. Back to fontmaking. Add a new …

The only application that I have available that can access those planes in a font is Microsoft WordPad. Some applications cannot access other than plane 0 of Unicode.

I hope that this helps.
