Thanks for all the suggestions. I had high hopes that one of them would work.
Alas, ...
Here are the results.
Andy's suggestion:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\fontspec{Kozuka Mincho Pr6N}辻
\addfontfeature{RawFeature=+expt}辻
\end{document}
Result: This didn't work. It produced only the base character, not the
variant. I also tried +aalt and +salt. No go.
David's suggestion:
\char"8FBB\char"E0100
Result: Didn't work. It produced the base character, followed by a box with an
X in it.
I also copied the variant into the source, but that failed also.
Incidentally, Kozuka Mincho is freely available for Adobe Reader.
