XeLaTeX / XeTeX -- fontspec and ornaments/dingbats

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to use the ornaments contained in a font like Minion Pro from Adobe. I'm using XeLaTeX and fontspec (or mathspec), but I don't find information on ornaments in the guide.

Did you look at How can I access a specific glyph in LuaLaTex/fontspec? It's LuaLaTeX oriented, but the method outlined in one of the answers should work well. — egreg, May 15 '13 at 09:03
I'd say this is a duplicate of that^ question. I added an answer to the latter that describes one of several possible ways of finding and using such ornaments. — Nils L, May 15 '13 at 09:33
