Special characters appears in Binary mode

Hi All

I am opening a file using open dataset, but some specail characters appear with £ sigh.

my code is

open dataset filepath for APPENDING in text mode ENCODING UTF-8.

transfer H_FHS TO FILEPATH.

using appending, the sp chars doesnt appear in text mode, but when you open the file in binary mode it appears.

I have tried ENCODING in Default, ANSI, UTF-8 and file format Auto, Text and Binary.

but I am not able to remaove that sp char.

please suggest what can be done , and why it appears??
