I'm not sure what you want to do. The ASCII characters on the hp50 are no different from the PC, I think. And translating those char above 0x7f to ASCII doesn't make much sense. Maybe you can explain what you want to accomplish.
If you just want an easy way to enter the special symbols, you can use a development program like Debug4x...

Or, you can try using an hp48 font with something like Word to write your programs. Search www.hpcalc.org for TrueType to find some fonts. I think there's also one in Postscript.
Or, you can just memorize the digraphs (like \v/ and \|> etc.) and use any text editor. This is may be the simplest approach.
Below is a list of digraphs with their char codes I got from the Debug4x documentation...
