Sorry, no.  This (from w3m.el) looks interesting, though:

(defun w3m-ucs-to-char (codepoint)
      "A dummy function defined since nothing provided the regular function.
This function simply returns the arg if it is between 0x20 and 0x7e,
otherwise returns the tilde character."

I'm investigating it further.
