Are you talking about the character map program provided by Windows XP? How is this related to Open Office? On my PC, this program is in the menu Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map. The program itself is located in %SystemRoot%\system32\charmap.exe.

Thanks for the feedback. The character map is no longer listed in Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > on my pc as it was before. It has disappearred from both that location and the icon that I had placed for it on my desktop has disappeared too.

Do you know how I can regenerate it?

Thanks
