I remember having to do something like that some years ago. If the ASCII file 
isn't too long and you can manage with manual edits, you can load the document 
into an editor that supports 'alt' codes. On Windows, I just tried Microsoft 
Word.
Hold the alt key down and enter the 2-digit code (on the numeric keypad) for 
the symbol you wish... ↑ is 24, and ← is 27. Just did a quick test and both 
printed fine on my HP printer, although as I recall the resulting symbols 
didn't look quite like the arrows in the original document.

 How do you print old files in ASCII 63 to modern devices, so you keep 
the ← and ↑ 's

and not printing _ and ^ ?
