Huh? AFAIK, since Emacs 24.4 you can use `C-x 8 RET' to append a
Unicode char to the search string.
I don't have a recent dev build (since Oct. 2014), but in 24.4 that
certainly works. (Dunno about using a unibyte buffer, though, so
maybe I'm missing your point. In `emacs -Q' (GUI, not terminal),
it works fine for me.
If you have the Unicode character in the kill ring then you can
also use `M-y'. And you can also use `M-e' followed by `C-x 8 RET',
of course.
