From common sense castle

If the unicode characters are sucked up from a metadata download site or they came with the embedded metadata I'd leave them as is, but I wouldn't bother inserting them via the keyboard via cut and paste from BabelMap, or with a global gadget like AHK or Phrase Express.

if you have the book/comic in epub or azw3, maybe you could do it in the editor, assuming its insert special character feature works on the opf file. And then you would then use the get metadata from format feature in MDE. But I have no idea if that would actually work.
