Go to layer Back. In layer Back you can move and transform image.

[@localfonts]

Select the glyph /a. Right click the right mouse button. From drop down window select Glyph Info and open it with the left button click. The opened Glyph Info Window will give you opportunity to input the name of the glyph and the Uncode number of the glyph. Hope this explanation will be of help.
