ASCII Character Not appearing in PROC REPORT and ODS EXCEL TAGSET export

I'm using ALT 246 which is the ascii character of division sign and storing this in a dataset.

PROC REPORT

and

ODS TAGSET to export to EXCEL does not print this character when I use the University Edition of BASE SAS

However it works in office in EG.

I have the same problem . I don't know why. Just Guessing the encoding of file is not right. try reset it at Preferences,changing "Default text encoding"
