I'm wondering what IBM-MAINers like to use for editing Unicode (UTF-8,
UTF-16, and/or UTF-32) "files" on z/OS. There are of course graphical
options (notably Rational Developer for System z) which work great, but for
this question I'm more focused on text editors that meet the following
attributes:
1. Accessible via TN3270E (i.e. "3270 editors") and/or Telnet (to z/OS UNIX
System Services) -- i.e. "old school" terminal mode editors;
2. Support editing UTF-8, UTF-16, and/or UTF-32;
3. Support sequential (QSAM), VSAM, PDS/PDSE, HFS/zFS, DB2, and/or IMS data
(i.e. "whatever you can imagine").
If you'd like to reply to me offline, that's perfectly fine -- either way.
Thanks in advance.

I think editing Unicode files from ISPF would be great.
It would allow you to build HTML pages in native mode
and avoid translation. Most emulators could handle
the extra characters (heck, even Notepad can handle
Unicode). One problem might be keyboard entry. I've
always thought this Russian keyboard could be modified
to provide keys for all characters since each key is
actually a small led screen:
