ods escapechar works in SAS Windowing environment but not EG?

[svh]

When I run the following code in the SAS Windowing Environment (9.4 MR6) the footnotes are rendered correctly in the ODS PDF file. But when I run the code in SAS Enterprise Guide, the footnote on the left is rendered but the one on the right is not. Is there a setting in EG that is affecting how the ODS ESCAPECHAR functions? (See the image below the code for what the PDF looks like. You'll see the weird characters that should be "1/2")

ods pdf file="z:/newfile.pdf";
ods escapechar= '^';
footnote h=8pt f=Arial j=l "%sysfunc(today(), mmddyy10.)"
				 	   j=r "^{THISPAGE} / ^{LASTPAGE}";
proc print data=sashelp.cars;
run;
ods pdf close;

It ran fine on EG running on a Linux server from a Windows 10 PC

filename out "&path./test.pdf";
ods _all_ close;
ods pdf file=out;
ods escapechar= '^';
footnote h=8pt f=Arial j=l "%sysfunc(today(), mmddyy10.)"
				 	   j=r "^{THISPAGE} / ^{LASTPAGE}";
proc print data=sashelp.cars;
run;
ods pdf close;
