CCSID reference information

Read this topic for useful information about CCSIDs on i5/OS™.

• CCSID values defined on i5/OS
  This table lists the coded character set identifiers (CCSIDs) that are defined on i5/OS.
• Supported CCSID mappings
  With V5R4M0, the operating system can dynamically create CCSID mappings on demand by using Unicode. These CCSID mappings are predefined for better performance or mapping customization.
• Associated CCSIDs
  This table shows the associated CCSIDs for a given CCSID value and encoding scheme.
• Encoding schemes for the CCSIDs
  This table shows the encoding scheme values (from Character Data Representation Architecture) that are used for the CCSIDs.
• Language identifiers and associated default CCSIDs
  This table shows the language identifiers and the job default CCSID (DFTCCSID) values associated with those identifiers.
