It does exist? It's part of Unicode!

  It's listed in the Unicode character database, but I doubt that it was in (m)any fonts 20 years ago, it would have been in zero printed books [0], and nobody knew the meaning of the character, so I'd argue that it's more an artifact of the Unicode compilation process than a "real" character.

    You don't need (m)any fonts, only need one font used by the book and you can get it the same way it was originally done - gluing some parts of other characters together. Or you could just draw it if the Unicode version is too dissimilar from the book version for a reliable OCR. (though if the character came from this single book, likely the Unicode reference is its replica?)
