Default Extra characters available to transliterate from Armenian?

Many thanks Jezebel. Any thoughts on which font would have those characters I
list below? From what I've been able to find, commercial font sites simply
list the most common characters, so it's impossible to tell.

The range of characters available via Insert Symbol is a function of the
font you choose to select from. This is outside Word's control -- it
supports the full Unicode system, and will use whatever glyphs the selected
font contains. Install a font that contains the glyphs you want.

I'm using Word 2002 in Office XP Professional. Is it possible to get extra
unicode characters in Word for transliterating from Armenian (i.e. unicode
characters to be inserted via the Insert Symbol command)? Checking
against
a printed source of all the characters used to transliterate Armenian to
roman script, I see Word includes many of them, but not all. For instance,
the t + asper (as a single character) is included, but the c + asper is
not;
neither is any other character + asper (c-caron, c, p, k, h, and s seem
to
be required for Armenian), though strangely the asper does not seem to be
available as a separate character either, so one cannot even insert it
manually after the letter. Also missing are the j + caron, r + subdot and
the r + superdot. If the unicode characters aren't available, is there
some
combination of keystrokes that can be used to construct them from the
available characters?
