There used to be several manufacturers of replacement character chips
for the II+.  I know because I bought one -- about 9 years ago.
You would be lucky to find one now, but some scrounging a some "funky"
parts-oriented computer store might yield one.

Alternatively, most 80-column cards do provide this functionality.
I got one of these about 6 years ago.  You probably need to look in
the same kind of place.  Alternatively, just run a "Wanted -- Apple
II+ 80 Column card" ad here.  I'd guess about $75.
