How can I select one No-unicode symbol from one font?
I am using Asea font http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/Textfonts.zip
From http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/
And I want to pick some characters that are not encoded in unicode, but are present in the font, like these:
The alpha with macron and smooth breathing appear in position "1114698 (0x11024a)" (I saw at FontForge), but does not have an unicode (U + XXXX) number. How can I select this symbol using fontspec package (the symbol command)?

The glyphs can be accessed through a ligature with the macron accent (U+0304):
documentclass{article}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont{Asea.ttf}[Script=Greek]
begin{document}
ᾱ^^^^0304 ά^^^^0304 ὰ^^^^0304 ἀ^^^^0304 ἁ^^^^0304 ἄ^^^^0304 ἂ^^^^0304
ἅ^^^^0304 ἃ^^^^0304
end{document}
While that works for this particular font, what if there were no ligature combination to access it? (unlikely but, that would make the answer a lot more general, if it's possible)

@guifa there is no general answer. It depends on the font how glyph can be accessed - sometimes such glyphs are stylistic variants, here they are used in ligatures.

It's also possible to store glyphs in a font without having a way to access them via ligatures, variants, etc, and thus only access than by glyph ID. That would be the general answer, but I don't know if fontspec gives that level of access.

@guifa you can dochar 983627
(with luatex, xelatex would need some other number) you can also access by glyphname.
