Register EBCDIC Character Set "OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_15"

This document provides information about character encoding OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_15
(Fujitsu-Siemens standard mainframe EBCDIC encoding, which is widely spread in
Europe) 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_DF04_15" is currently used by a large user
community using BS2000 mainframe systems.

Originally, specification of proposed standard "OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_15" 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_DF04_15 is developed as a single byte encoding for all contemporary
characters.


The reference table between OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_15 and Unicode is shown below.

Unicode mapping:

General notes: #
    Column #1 is the OSD_EBCDIC_DF04_15 code (in hex)
    Column #2 is the Unicode (in hex as 0xXXXX)
