I know that i can't use mapchar sets in UNICODE. Maybe the question was unfortunately formed but:

I HAVE TO use mapchar sets in ASCII database for proper sorting of national characters (ORDER BY mapchar(<column_name>) clause), RTFM.
Both types of databases ASCII and UNICODE store national characters properly (German characters for example).
But in case of polish characters: all of them are placed after every other character so:
should be:
a...<polish_char>...z
is
a...z...<polish_char>
With mapchar sets i can solve the problem in ASCII database, but i don't know how to do this in UNICODE database.
I need transfer the mapchar set from one ASCII database to another because i don't want edit this manually every time i start new database instance.

The point is that you can't. You have to sort externally. The ordering in UNICODE follows UNICODE character id's which happens to place all national characters after a-z. That's the way it is, and I agree that it would be nice to have it another way. We use non-english characters too so I suffer with you.
