The characters are supported in all code pages. They are just in the
wrong code-point when translating between IBM-273 and ISO8859-1. I have
formed the opinion that the ISPF editor does no honor code pages
and only supports translation between IBM-1047 <-> ISO8859-1.

The ISPF editor does much better than that. But, in general, it's complicated:

I don't think it does. I just edited a ISO8859-1 tagged file using 037 and inserted square brackets []. When I edited the file using Vim the square brackets had not been translated correctly. I am almost 100% sure that ISPF only supports conversion from 1047. I'm going to ask IBM.
