It is not EBCDIC that is the problem. Code pages are. Unfortunately, Unicode is NOT the solution: there are lots of different encoding schemes for Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16, little/big endian, etc. etc.) so when it comes down to manipulating the bytes, it is even more complicated than EBCDIC. I do agree that a C program source displayed through a French code page does look odd...
