If anyone is interested, that's UTF-EBCDIC [1]. In reality even IBM itself didn't use that encoding though.

- le-mark 1y agoI think the parent is referring to IBMs DBCS double byte character set which more like a weird utf-16.
- lifthrasiir 1y agoAFAIK they are not a single unified character set (e.g. IBM Korean DBCS-PC is an extension to EUC-KR), so any of them can't support the full Unicode range at all.
- nuc1e0n 1y agoFor the record, I was referring to utf-ebcdic rather than any double byte encoding. I thought it was unambiguously googleable, but perhaps I was mistaken.
