Sorry for jumping into this a bit late, but the above is (no surprise) absolutely right. The broken bar (x'6A' in CCSID 37) is not in the base 7-bit ASCII character set, and so moves around based on what ASCII code page the viewer is using. If the target is 1252 (Windows Latin 1) or 819 (ISO 8859 Latin 1) a x'A6' is needed to display the broken bar; but if you're in 437 (PC USA) or 850 (PC Multilingual) that same x'A6' would give you a feminine ordinal indicator (what looks like a superscripted lowercase underlined a). And other country specific code pages would give still other characters for x'A6'.
