Convert text to shapes / lines?

I need to make additional sketch elements atop some text in a sketch. E.g. to connect the inner of an "O" to the outer. But it seems like the text element is not "really a sketch" which I can interact with. I can draw on top of it but I can't reference any part of the text to be included in a constraint.
When I try to draw a "stem" across the "O", the intersections to not create points, and so I cannot e.g. trim the loose ends. What am I missing here?

You don't need to trim the curves to create the extrusions you want. Sketch faces are created anyway. You can then select the faces to extrude.
