No, but you can only use 256 using numbers. The other glyphs, you may
only get by using their glyph names.

I guess there is an option that lets you chose different 256 glyph sets.
Search for "map" or something like that.

That will be impossible and unusable. First, I don't know a font that
has all those glyphs. Then, that will be just isolated glyphs, which
will be incomplete for typesetting any language. It may only be used for
printing a Unicode chart.
