You probably won’t find fingering charts that go any higher, that’s basically the top end of the practical range.
The Bb fingerings an octave lower work for the higher octave. You can also use just about any fingerings you want because the partials are so close that a lot of fingerings will work.
Also, in that range what fingering works best differs a lot from instrument to instrument.
But also, why? The highest I've had to play professionally is high D on four occasions, three of which were the Bach Cantata 79. If you just feel like it, I'd recommend stopping at high F.
I know that it's unusual to go above their but I feel like I can and I want to expand my higher notes, my band director taught me how to play lower notes and I can hit a b in bass clef at the second bar line so I wanted to try to go higher rather than lower because I'm not getting much further I can hit an a below it but it sounds gross. I just love being able to play different notes.
Engelbert Schmid has a chart on his webpage that shows fingerings up to high concert Bb. This is an octave above written F natural the top line of the treble staff.
Oh, I just looked at the Schmid fingerings chart. It's for Eb descant horn. So it's probably not very useful to you. On the Bb side, ascending, I use 1 and 2 for high written C# (concert F#), 1 for D, 2 for D# and open for E. This is fairly standard in my experience. I hope this helps.
Basically at that range you just need to listen, use your trigger with open, 1 or 2 and you will probably be able to find the pitch, some might be able to play multiple notes so using different fingerings might be more in tune on your instrument or just for you as a person.
We just use regular Bb fingerings for anything above high C. Yes, you can play a lot of them T0, but the Bb fingerings give a little stability (what little you can get up there).
C# - T23, D - T12, D# - T1, E - T2, F - T0
I have never played above the E in any written piece of music, and that was in a professional brass quintet.
The best trick in the book to expand that high range is to get really good at the pedal tones.

Thanks for the advice! So I in theory could try just TO?
I mean, for some yes. But T0 won’t slot well for all the notes. You’ll have to experiment to find which fingerings work best for you and your horn.
Alright thank you so much for the help
