All PCs, Macintoshes and most other computers use ASCII characters. However, many files downloaded from IBM mainframe computers use EBCDIC characters. An EBCDIC file will appear as complete gibberish in any ASCII editor or PC program, assuming the editor/program can even open the file.
ASCII and EBCDIC refer to how text characters are represented.
For example:
In ASCII, a byte with hex value “4E” represents the letter “N”, but in EBCDIC the same byte represents the character “+”.
In EBCDIC, the letter “N” is represented with hex value “D5”.
ASCII and EBCDIC have completely different representations for all letters, digits and other characters.
