The last version can be found at <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr16/tr16-8.html">http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr16/tr16-8.html</a>.</p> <p>UTF-EBCDIC is an encoding form similar to UTF-8, but based on EBCDIC instead of ASCII. Even IBM EBCDIC-based systems usually use UTF-16 for Unicode text processing, rather than UTF-EBCDIC. Therefore, there is no need to develop this report any further.</p> <hr width="50%"> <div align="center"> <center> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/copyright.html"> <img src="http://www.unicode.org/img/hb_notice.gif" border="0" alt="Access to Copyright and terms of use" width="216" height="50"></a></td> </tr> </table> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.unicode.org/webscripts/lastModified.js"></script> </center> </div> </blockquote> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html>
