you'll need to give us some details. e.g. do you have a image
(screenshot) of the character? Most people today isn't familiar with
ibm charsets.

also, am certain that all ibm charsets in any version should be in
unicode. So, your problem is simply finding the right unicode, if i
understand it correctly. Not sure what you mean by “incorporate”.

you might find your char in the “shapes” file in the following:

• xub Unicode Browser mode for Emacs

the following might help on some issues of input, code point, etc.
