    You can copy Unicode from Reader (manually) and your app can look at the Unicode points. Each Unicode point has a standardised glyph name. This may be different from any name used in an embedded type 1 font, or the encoding used for a TrueType font. CID fonts, of course, may not have glyph names inherent in the PDF.
