Tony,

Ah, 1047. The updated 1047 and 819 were recently registered...I had missed
that they had completed the process. And the euro's GCGID is SC20 (SC200000).

1047, 8859-1, Latin 1 arranged for an EBCDIC layout has eight characters that
have been replaced, and three that have been moved:

1047 -> 924
replaced:
  9F -> euro
  6A -> capital S caron
  BB -> small s caron
  BE -> capital Z caron
  9D -> small Z caron
  B7 -> capital OE ligature
  B8 -> small oe ligature
  B9 -> capital Y diaeresis
moved:
  4A -> capital Y acute
  B0 -> cent
  BA -> logical not

819, the code page IBM registers for the well known and well loved 8859-1,
takes the 8859-15 definition:

819 -> 923
  A4 -> euro
  A6 -> capital S caron
  A8 -> small s caron
  B4 -> capital Z caron
  B8 -> small Z caron
  BC -> capital OE ligature
  BD -> small oe ligature
  BE -> capital Y diaeresis

Thanks for asking,

Lisa

Conspicuous by its absence is code page 1047, which is probably the
most used code page in North America. Any plans for this ? Also, is
there a GCGID for the EURO ?

Thanks,

Tony Harminc
