I use my own LCD functions, but they are close to the CCS functions. I have created custom characters for LCDs but unfortunately, the code belongs to my clients so I can't post it. Here's the concept: create another function that points the write to the CG ram. This CGRam starts at address 0x40, then just write out the pixel row data of the character by using 8 consecutive writes just like writing a character to the display except the data is the hex value for a row, not a character. Then point the LCD to the character position for the new character and write the character using the address where you previously created your custom character. It is fairly straight forward, once you decipher the LCD controller chip data sheet.
