There is a workaround for this.  Place the required symbol in a text 
(Writer) document - in an appropriate font - and select it.  Now go 
to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Replace, and you will find that 
the required character has already been entered in the With: 
field.  Continue as expected.

Not all characters exist in all fonts.  If you change to a font in 
which the character does not appear, there will be nothing to display.

Yes: use a font in which the character exists.

I trust this helps.
