Is there a function that maps a keyboard input character to the character that would have been input if the shift key modifier was being pressed? For instance if I pass the input ?c it would return ?C, or if I pass the input ?2 it would return ?@.

You can probably do it with the function event-apply-shift-modifier. But it will depend on exactly what you're using it for (of course).

event-apply-shift-modifierreads an event, it doesn't take an event or a character as argument. You'd need to callevent-apply-modifierdirectly. But that wouldn't do what the asker wants: it uppercases ASCII letters, but you can easily do that manually anyway. Other characters (non-ASCII letters, non-letters) are mapped to events with the shift bit set, not to a different base character. Jun 1, 2022 at 18:59
@(as used in the US) or"(which is used on some european layouts).
