Character sets

This reference information is about various character sets on the IBM® i operating system.

Country extended character set 00697
The figure shows country extended character set 00697.
Graphic character conversion tables
Table (*TBL) objects support non-CCSID conversions from one code page to another. The system-supplied table objects are located in the QUSRSYS library.
International DP 94 00103 (ASCII)
The figure shows International DP 94 00103 (ASCII).
Character set 01169 (International Alphabet 5)
The figure shows character set 01169 (International Alphabet 5).
Invariant character set (and its exceptions)
An invariant character set is a character set, such as the syntactic character set, whose code point assignments do not change from code page to code page. The table illustrates the invariant character set (character set 00640) on the IBM i operating system.
Monocase tables
Here is a list of monocase tables on the IBM i operating system.
Portable character set
The X/Open portable character set is a superset of the IBM invariant character set (00640), which includes symbols not represented in the IBM invariant character set 00640.
Syntactic/invariant character set 00640
With only a few exceptions, each EBCDIC code page contains a common set of graphic characters. Within an encoding scheme, the common characters can be found at the same code points. However, there are exceptions.
T.61 Character Set 01252
This figure shows T.61 Character Set 01252.
T.61 Character Repertoire 01253
The figure shows T.61 Character Repertoire 01253.
T.61 graphic character conversions
The table contains a list of T.61 conversions supported on the IBM i operating system.
