Brian,
Not all glyphs have corresponding character code.
To expand on that just a bit. There is also not always a 1:1 mapping
between glyphs and character codes. Consider the word "five". If
you type that in some fonts, you'll get an f-i ligature in the place
of the first two characters. The result would have three glyphs for
the four characters. There need not be a single character code that
corresponds to the f-i ligature glyph.
Conceptually, it's also possible that one character code could
generate multiple glyphs. I can't think of a good example, though.
