To convert a glyph in a svg image is a piece of cake. Do the following:
- Open the font (with the glyph of your interest) with the Windows Font Viewer (you don't need to install the font).
- After that, open Inkscape.
- In Inkscape, select the Text tool (or press F8).
- Now, in the toolbar, select the font family that you open in the step 1 (it will be available on the font family list) and also select a font size of 144.
- Type the letter (the glyph) you want to convert in a svg image.
- Press F1 (to change to Select tool); after that the glyph will appear selected.
- Now select Path/Object to path command in the menu bar.
- After that select Archive/Document properties... and in the dialog that appears select "Fit page to content".
- Save all as Plain SVG (very important).
That's all. Now you'll be able to use that glyph as any other image. The resulting file will have no more than 2KB
Kindle (at least Kindle models that support .kf8) has plenty support of svg images. Maybe you didn't save the svg image as plain svg and for that reason you can see the image on those devices. Do the try with the above procedure and the svg will display in Kindle.
