Chapter 2

Table 2-12 shows three characters that currently have no Greek EBCDIC Code Page 875 code points defined.

Consequently, in converting from either ISO-88597, Unicode, or UTF-8, these characters are mapped to the

Undefined Character for Greek EBCDIC (0xFF). These 3 characters are subject to data loss in round-trip

conversions between these codesets.
