\begin{document}
Using the \verb=\symbol= command you can access any
glyph in a font, if you know its position in the
encoding. For example, \symbol{"DE}, \symbol{'237}
or~\symbol{32}.  \par    However, if available,
standard text commands are preferable, because they
work correctly in different font encodings.
