'''UTF-EBCDIC''' is a character encoding based on [[UTF-8]] but engineered to be more friendly to systems using [[EBCDIC]] rather than [[ASCII]]-based character sets. It is designed to allow raw code points in the [[C1 controls]] range in order to encode EBCDIC control characters, and the 7-bit character range is sent through a reversible transformation so that the characters in this range are encoded in their EBCDIC code positions rather than those of ASCII. This encoding has not had much use, even on mainframes that still use EBCDIC, since they have usually been set up to use [[UTF-16]] directly in applications requiring full Unicode support.
