The original example was somewhat extreme. CCSID 01027: Encoding scheme 1100 - EBCDIC, SBCS; Name JAPAN LATIN CCSID 01208: Encoding scheme 7807 - UTF-8, UCS-2 transform; Name UTF-8 WITH IBM Both the Unicode manual for z/OS V1R13 and the returned information from CUNLINFO indicate that roundtrip conversion is supported for this CCSID pair.

That > is my fundamental question. Roundtrip conversion means what you think: translate string A to string B then back from string B to string A' then A = A' Clearly you are not experiencing that. Just as clearly, there are many mappings for which roundtrip conversion is not possible.
