Putting 002A in as a unicode number brings up the symble A since

reverts to text mode when I input the A. The correct character for 002A
is
an asterisk

Works for me:
Ctrl+U 0 0 2 a Esc
produces an asterisk. What do you use? Does that work for you?
When I put in Ctrl+U 002a it works. When I put in Ctrl+U 002A it does not-it produces an A. The unimode hex values that I have come across all use upper case letters A, B etc. Why does Inkscape use lower case? Can we change it? or document it?

A related question is on ANSI mode. Most of my text software will output
a
character map with character versus ANSI value. Can I put these ANSI
values
into Inkscape to get the correct characters? If so, How?

What is "ANSI value"? Same as ASCII? If so then ASCII is a subset of Unicode, you can use the Unicode mode as in the above.
Yes, ANSI is a subset of Unicode.
