My terminal emulator was using a setting called "Default Code Page". I went and changed it to "1047 USA, Canada" and now the character is displaying correctly!
Thank you very much!!

What does your terminal (emulator) say for the host code page (readily configurable, at least with x3270.) This should match the MBDATACONN value. I have found ISPF to be quite alert and friendly to terminal code pages, even Viewing a UTF-8 file with a Cyrillic x3270 and a UTF-8 desktop. There's an ISPF function to show the terminal code page.
