No.

ASCII stops at 127.

ISO8859-1 (sometimes called "extended ASCII") stops at 255.

There is therefore no "ASCII equivalent" to ┐ character.

Do you have NLS enabled?

Why?

It's not a valid ASCII character. It's achievable using Unicode, but there is no scope for Unicode if you do not have NLS enabled.

Well, it's not ASCII, but try CHAR(170).
