No such precomposed characters are encoded in Unicode 3.0
(which is not quite the same thing, but at least means that
no language hitherto used *on computers* has needed any
consonant+ogonek combinations).
Unicode does, of course, have the productive COMBINING
OGONEK character which allows ogonek to be attached to
any base character, including non-Latin ones.
How good this will look depends on your font.
> BTW, how do you represent the ogonek in ASCII?
A fine question.
