Register EBCDIC Character Set "OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV"

This document provides information about character encoding OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV 
(Fujitsu-Siemens standard mainframe EBCDIC encoding, which is widely spread in 
Europe, IRV stands for International Reference Version), which is a de-facto 
standard in Europe for information interchange on BS2000 mainframe systems of 
Fujitsu-Siemens Computer. 

The proposed character set "OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV" is currently used by a large user
community using BS2000 mainframe systems.  

Originally, specification of proposed standard "OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV" was 
officially adopted by the BS2000 systems and is documented in the Fujitsu-
Siemens Manual of the product XHCS
http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com/servers/bs2_man/man_us/dcam/v14_0/xhcs.pdf  
(page 136f).  

OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV is developed as a single byte encoding for all contemporary 
characters.


The reference table between OSD_EBCDIC_DF03_IRV and Unicode is shown below.
