CP 1047 has the dollar sign at 5B, the pound sterling sign at B1, and the cent sign at 4A. CP 285 has sterling at 5B, dollar at 4A, and cent at B0. But be careful - you are very likely to have a de facto mix of encodings in various data, depending on where it came from. Changing your translation from 1047 to 285 may break something else. (For example, your log lines quoted above show dodgy characters right after ZosSettings and Translator. What characters do you see there when you look at them on z/OS? Are they perhaps square brackets?)
