Having said that, however, the EBCDIC CCSID 37 (default in the USA) has hex character x'4A' set to the cent sign. And ISO 8859-1 (based on a web search) has the cent sign as x'A2'. Assuming that the font you use is 100% compliant with ISO 8859-1 (which might be a really big assumption!) both x5250 and xt5250 should output the sign properly without changes.
To verify that it was functioning properly, I wrote the following trivial RPG program:
D char s 1A inz(x'4A') c dsply char c eval *inlr = *on
When I run this program, it does show a cent sign on my display (FreeBSD 5.2.1 with XFree86 4.3.0, using the 'fixed' font)
I tested this with both x5250 and xt5250, and both display the cent sign properly.

At home I'm running X.org rather than XFree86, so I'll check it there later.
