Fontographer does the trick for me.  It's a PostScript font editor/designer.
When Symbol font is missing that critical, and bizarre, character, I just
draw it into my Symbol2 font.  (It is usually best to start from an existing
character that is as similar as you can find.)

In addition, nothing is more helpful for typing those odd characters that 
PopChar.
