I stand corrected.  Well, somewhat.  It's in IBM-1047.  But how stable is it
across code pages?  (And which code page do you use in your (OCO)
modules?)

I suspect it's little used because many customers won't see it, and many
vendors don't have it on their keyboards.  (I got one by pasting it off a
web page)

x3270 tells me:

Display character set: ISO10646-1
Host EBCDIC character set: cp1047
Host SBCS CGCSID 697, CPGID 1047
Locale codeset UTF-8

Eek!  What does it all mean?  And the '©' displays as 'w' (or something).
How much of this does ISPF know?  Can I ask it?  I find little about that in:

z/OS 2.1.0>ISPF>z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros>Command reference>Edit macro 
commands and assignment statements
z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit Macros
SC19-3621-00

Outside EBCDIC, UTF-8 has much more become the norm.
