Here is a URL which gets you to IBM Personal Communications publication "Host Code Page Reference". You'll probably find this helpful when you're looking for various EBCDIC character encodings.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQ5Y_13.0.0/com.ibm.pcomm.doc/reference/pdf/hcp_referenceV58.pdf This URL gets you to some information about the "invariant character set", i.e., the characters whose code points do not change from code page to code page. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_71/nls/rbagsinvariantcharset.htm You might be surprised at some of the characters which are commonly used in the U.S. and which are not in the invariant set, for example, the Dollar Sign (0x5B in code page 037) and the Number Sign (0x7B in code page 037).
