Unfortunately I don't have any idea how to change the font used by the native Mac version of Gnucash, if it is even possible.  I know how to do it in the X Window version and the font I'm using there displays that symbol correctly.

You do it the same way everywhere. Create a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the following contents:

style "font"
{
  font_name = "Arial Narrow 12"
}
widget_class "*" style "font"
gtk-font-name = "Arial Narrow 12”

Substitute any font in FontBook for “Arial Narrow 12”.
