Syntactic/invariant character set 00640

With only a few exceptions, each EBCDIC code page contains a common set of graphic characters. Within an encoding scheme, the common characters can be found at the same code points. However, there are exceptions.

The exceptions are as follows:

  • EBCDIC code page 290 has Katakana characters at the code points where lowercase a through z are in the invariant character set.
  • EBCDIC code page 905 where the quotation mark (") is not at the same code point as it is in the invariant character set.
  • EBCDIC code page 1026 where the quotation mark (") is not at the same code point as it is in the invariant character set.
  • EBCDIC code page 420 does not contain the invariant character SM040000 (asterisk (*)). However, code page 420 has a similar character named SM040007 ( An illustration of the described invariant character ) at the same code point where SM040000 normally exists.
  • EBCDIC code page 420 does not contain the invariant character SM020000 (percent sign (%)). However, code page 420 has a similar character named SM020007 ( An illustration of the described invariant character ) at the same code point where SM020000 normally exists.
