The @ sign,# sign and $ sign are problematic within EBCDIC since they are nationals and vary by country, the hex value for a $ is used for the pound sterling sign in Britain and the Yen sign in Japan. You need to use special characters that are both stable across all EBCDIC code pages and all ISO (ASCII) code pages and are acceptable as input for passwords.

Re: Special characters in passwords from non-US computers (Italy)
Google A problem is not just that the hex associated with a given graphic may be different, but also issued of the ASCII graphic, the Italian keyboard mapping, and the ASCII to EBCDIC translation table. ! is always a big problem!

Special characters in passwords from non-US computers (Italy)
I try to include the special characters on standard US keyboards in some of my passwords. On a trip it Italy, I attempted to login to some websites (not anything very secure of course) and I found that the passwords always failed. I could only conclude that the local hex encoding for the ! @ and/or # characters was different from what it is on a US keyboard. Now since these are in pretty common use, especially @ and #, I thought they would be no problem, but I was wrong. Now, I could carry my passwords on a US thumb drive and paste them, but I would rather find out what special characters are common to most European keyboards, and select from those. I have not found anything helpful in Google.
