Student: "EBCDIC!" References to the EBCDIC character set are made in the 1979 computer game series Zork. In the "Machine Room" in Zork II, EBCDIC is used to imply an incomprehensible language: This is a large room full of assorted heavy machinery, whirring noisily. The room smells of burned resistors.
UTF-EBCDIC is a character encoding capable of encoding all 1,112,064 valid character code points in Unicode using 1 to 5 bytes (in contrast to a maximum of 4 for UTF-8). [1] It is meant to be EBCDIC-friendly, so that legacy EBCDIC applications on mainframes may process the characters without much difficulty.
A character set is a collection of elements used to represent text. [9] [10] For example, the Latin alphabet and Greek alphabet are both character sets. A coded character set is a character set mapped to a set of unique numbers. [10] For historical reasons, this is also often referred to as a code page. [9]
The terminology, however, is different: What others call a character set, HP calls a symbol set, and what IBM or Microsoft call a code page, HP calls a symbol set code. HP developed a series of symbol sets, [8] [9] each with an associated symbol set code, to encode both its own character sets and other vendors’ character sets.
The BCD code for this character is 77 8 in some BCD variants. The groupmark was proposed for Unicode standardization in 2015, [9] and was assigned to value U+2BD2 ⯒ GROUP MARK. Functionally this corresponds to the EBCDIC IGS character (ASCII GS), X'1D'. It is now in Unicode 10.0 at this position, but only the Symbola and Unifont fonts support it.
Eight Ones, as an EBCDIC control code, is used for synchronisation purposes, such as a time and media filler. [1] In Advanced Function Presentation code page definition resource headers, setting at least the first two bytes of the field for the eight-byte code page resource name (which is encoded in code page 500) to Eight Ones (0xFF) constitutes a "null name", which is treated as unset.

Hewlett-Packard started to add European characters to their extended 7-bit / 8-bit ASCII character set HP Roman Extension around 1978/1979 for use with their workstations, terminals and printers. This later evolved into the widely used regular 8-bit character sets HP Roman-8 and HP Roman-9 (as well as a number of variants).
