A lot of it is just thinking about it correctly. I have worked with people who have gone "look at that -- X'xx' on the mainframe IS such-and-such a character but I want it to be so-and-so."
Well, no. Your emulator (or FTP or whatever) is converting EBCDIC X'xx' to ASCII X'yy'. Then your emulator or editor is displaying X'yy' as such-and-such a glyph, which you are interpreting as a particular character. You have to correct the part of the process that is not doing what you want. It's not that the mainframe has suddenly decided that X'xx' is some different character; it's that one of the transformations is not as you wish.

Use IBM-1047 with your emulator and file transfers and you won't have to do anything.
