I don't understand what I am seeing from Unicode Services translation. I specify translation from 1047 (Encoding scheme 1100 - EBCDIC, SBCS; Name LATIN 1 / OPEN SYSTEM) to 1252 (Encoding scheme 4105 - ASCII, SBCS; Name MS-WIN LATIN-1).
As both CCSIDs are SBCS I would expect that any "common" EBCDIC character would get translated into a single ASCII byte. But for an input byte of X'B0' (logical not in 1047) I am seeing translation to the 2-byte sequence C2AC. AC is by my reading correct: it's 1252 logical not. But what the heck is that C2 about (C2 is A with an acute accent in 1252). FWIW technique E, substitution 1A. Where am I confused?
