what you've seen is correct: There is no such symbol in any of the
"normal" EBCDIC encodings.

Nor ASCII, at least if we're talking about *pure* ASCII, which (being a 7-bit code) lacks a lot of things you would find in EBCDIC, or UTF-8, or various 8-bit extensions to ASCII.

For my typesetting work, I've had to write a program (in one of the QBASICs, QBX, if I remember right) to filter UTF-8 text, and convert it to a format that WordPerfect for DOS and Xerox Ventura Publisher (DOS/GEM Edition, the REAL Ventura Publisher) can deal with. And when it hits something that doesn't exist in the target character set, it spits out something that shows up in Ventura as a large, obvious ornamental sort from one of my pi fonts.
