This was a typo; I meant to write 1047. As I had said in my introductory
statement, I am a "former EBCDIC user"; hence I cannot report on any new
developments in the EBCDIC arena.
CECP 1047 was officially defined in late 1991 (or early 1992, I do not
quite remember), though it had then been effectively in use for years,
or even decades.

Evidently. The correct URL is
<ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT>
Thanks to Doug for spotting these typos, so Daniel Oppenheimer will have a
correct answer.
Best wishes,
