I can see my fonts in FontBook. When I hover over a letter to see what key, it says Glyph 142 and then under that U + E022. How do I know what keystroke that is to use the glyph in a program?

There are thousands of characters you cannot make from the keyboard, but need to use the Character Viewer instead.

Plus E022 is a "private use" character which may not display in many apps.

Can you provide the name of the font and describe what this character is supposed to look like?

In the System/Keyboard/Keyboard preference pane check this checkbox:

In the Keyboard menu above select Show Keyboard viewer:

Then try the key combinations (the light keys in the animated screenshot) to see what keys give what glyphs:

When you press the glyph you want it will be place where the cursor is in the document/window you are working in.

In Font Book, do View > Repertoire. You should be able to find the glyphs there. Depending on the app, you may be able to drag/drop the glyphs from Font Book to the app.

Also you can try the app Ultra Character Map.
