Abstract
Using mixed character sets can be hazardous to your health. Back in the 1970s and 80s, computer systems from different manufacturers were much harder to integrate into a single workflow. We had problems getting data moved from IBM to DEC computer systems. This is partly because the character codes were represented using different mapping schemes. On DEC VAX systems we used ASCII, while the IBM systems used EBCDIC that was completely different.
