Unicode Characters being ignored in report output

[r_behata]

I am trying to re-use an existing format  which includes some Unicode Characters in it.  However, The report which I intend to use this format  (HTML Output) does not resolve the unicode characters in a desired format. The other legacy report that uses the same format is displaying the resolved values. 

Wondering if there is any option to enforce the unicode characters in the report.

Here is the sample code :

proc format;
	value $mtrcspc
		New_Acct_EOM_Purch_Amt="New Acct (^{unicode 2264}12 MOB) Month-end Purchase Sales (in MM)"
		New_Acct_EOC_Purch_Pct="% New Acct (^{unicode 2264}12 MOB) Month-end Sales";
run;

data have;
col1="New_Acct_EOM_Purch_Amt";output;
col1="New_Acct_EOC_Purch_Pct";output;
run;


proc print data=have;
	var col1;
	format col1 $mtrcspc.;
run;

Thank You.

Are you sure the ODS Escapechar is set? To the ^ character?
