      Erm … you cannot. “Glyphs” in InDesign are part of fonts — a Glyph Set is just a list of characters from a font, gathered into a list.

      Can't you store your custom items into a Library instead? It's not entirely the same, but it has some advantages.

      Thanks for the suggestion, But I already know about the Library function. I want to use that lineart as an inline text, repeatedly….

      It sounds like you want to make your own custom font. This isn't something that InDesign does. There are various font editors out there: a quick Google suggests that https://www.fontlab.com/font-ed…..ab-studio/ is a fairly comprehensive piece of kit; or https://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ has the advantage of being free…

      [Disclaimer: I don't edit fonts myself, so I can't tell you whether the above are any good or not.]
