@Navani Soni try this....

  1.  Open Illustrator Preferences (Command K - MAC) (Control K - PC). Scroll to Type. Enable Missing Glyph Protection. It would substitute missing glyph fonts
  2. Make sure you are using the Type Tool for adding Glyphs to your Illustrator files
  3. Not all fonts have a wide selection of glyphs. Symbol or Wingdings have a wider variety of glyphs

Hi Monika,

 

I've been trying to add Glyphs from the glyphs panel in my text. Glyphs like characters like: à ë ū, etc.

Hi,

 

Following are the issues:

1. Any font that I am using, if I am trying to add the Glyphs in the font, I am unable to do so.
2. I Double Clicked on the Glyphs in the Glyphs panel, still it's not working.

Need a solution to how can I add glyphs in the text.

I'm using a Mac as well and it works. If you have not already reset the preferences, maybe try that.

 

Also: maybe contact Customer Care and have them look into it: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

I know this doesn't help but I'm also not experiencing the issue; Double-clicking glyphs is working properly for me using the same font you have used (Mac 28.6).

Longshot: have you recently changed your mouse's double-click reaction speed?
