Is it possible it's technically a different character code in UTF-8?  You
might try identifying the character's underlying code value and using that
in case they're technically different characters.  I am not completely sure
that the SAS program editor will always correctly encode characters written
into the code when in UTF-8, though this is by no means my area of
expertise...
