UNICODE does, but not necessarily subsets of the full UNICODE. UTF-8 is a

So It does not surprise me that UTF-8 does not have the Hebrew alphabet. I
believe (without checking the actual UNICODE description) that UTF-8 is
primarily the Latin character and its derivatives (i.e. the umlaut characters
and the accent characters). I think that you have to go to UTF-16 to get the
Hebrew, Cyrillic and Arabic characters. I think that UTF-16 also includes most
of the common Chinese and Japanese characters, but to get the full set you need
UTF-32.

No.
UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 all contain the same character set.
There are even mechanical algorithms for converting between
them, and these are encapsulated in the z Architecture
instructions:
CU24 (UTF-16 -> UTF-32)
CU42 (UTF-32 -> UTF-16)
CU41 (UTF-32 -> UTF-8)
CU14 (UTF-8 -> UTF-32)
CU21 (UTF-16 -> UTF-8)
CU12 (UTF-8 -> UTF-16)

I'm not sure what you mean buy CCSID, but the data is encoded
in IBM-424 EBCDIC - Hebrew New Code.

What is CCSID of the data on z/OS? By Unicode, do you mean
UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32 on Windows? The basic command is the
SBDATACONN

Subject: z/OS ftp and Unicode
Can anyone show me how to transfer a file from z/OS to
windows using the windows ftp client so that the resulting
file on windows is Unicode.
The source file on z/OS will be EBCDIC.
We are using z/OS v1.11.
Unicode services are enabled on z/OS.
Thanks
Gadi
