Yeah, and on my PC there is a similar issue with ¬ (Logical Not); is it AA or 
AC? That's a major issue if you/re coding PL/I or REXX.

Good question! Do you know the answer? And don't get me started on the
line-feed/newline x'15' fiasco!

I use IBM-1047 for the projects I work on because I work in z/OS UNIX
but other teams use IBM-037 because that was the default in their
terminal emulators many years ago.
We've got C/C++ code with different square brackets depending on the
project which is incredibly annoying if the source is in a PDS so it
can't be tagged. IDE's like RD/z (or
whatever it's called now) do a good job solving code page hell.
