What are you actually trying to do? Represent the text as blackletter in EPUB according to the original? Represent the text as blackletter in EPUB according to current blackletter rules? Represent the text in Antiqua, but character-equivalent? Note that most blackletter fonts don't have the long-'s' at the corresponding UTF-8 character code, but at a different code of a character which isn't present in the blackletter font separately. Quite common for blackletter fonts, but it leads to incompatible ASCII plain text if read without the associated blackletter font. Also note that you are required to use ligatures, if supported in the blackletter font. Maybe you should make sure that you don't use one of the modern pseudo-blackletter fonts.
