STANDARD UTILITIES ON YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM
All operating systems have a utility program that can access the swashes, alternates, and ornaments in my fonts. In addition, some programs have an OpenType®, Glyph, or Symbol panel or menu that can be used to find and insert swashes, alternates, and symbols directly into your document.
Operating system’s utility programs include Character Map (Windows), Character Viewer (Mac OS versions prior to 10.9), or Font Book (Mac OS 10.9 and later).
Below are links to instructional PDFs, along with a how-to video for Mac Users (10.6-10.8):

It doesn't seem to allow me to copy the glyph then paste it. I'm guessing so people don't copy and paste other creators work from the edit tool. Unless I'm doing something wrong but I followed the instructions you provided.
