It's not. The "too" referred to ISPF, not a terminal. And I'm talking
about real terminals obviously, not emulators, but ISPF and Condor
should work on any emulator that supports DBCS.

No idea. DBCS supports Korean, Japanese and "simplified" Chinese. In my
testing, I just hit random three buttons to create glyphs. The files
contain the SI/SO and double-byte characters. You can have EBCDIC as
double-byte chars too. They just take up two positions on the screen/
paper. Good for drawing attention to things. :)

Certainly. I'm sure it got fixed in the last 30 years at some point.
