    I would have pegged EBCDIC for that, but ok

      I haven’t seen EBCDIC used anywhere other than the curriculum of my “Fundamentals of Programming” class 25 years ago.

        It was IBM’s binary to character transform. DB2 can still use it if you configure it to do so. Or was at least as of the version from 1998 that I had to replace.

          I’m familiar with it from the aforementioned class, but thank you. I’ve just never seen it used.
