Ah, that is interesting! Maybe I ought to get the book, too.

Is this just a collection of schematic recipes, or are there discussions
of origins, methods, etc.? Surprisingly, the book is not listed in the
pretty comprehensive bibliography George Lang includes in his book.

I think it is Bodóczky. See

You can always use the Character Map, a utility included with the
Windows OS. However, as far as I am concerned, a much better way is to
use PopChar. It's been available for the Mac platform since something
like 20 years and was originally free; I eventually paid for the "pro"
version, to show my appreciation. There is now a Windows version:
