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.

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.
