Wrong for ISO-8859-15, but not wrong for CP437 and CP850.

Latin-1 doesn't have the € (Euro); I'd go with Latin-9, although I believe that 
W3C blessed Latin-1.

IETF has blessed UTF-8 as the way forward.

I wasn't asking which encoding was best (IMHO, it's 'C2AC'X, THE UTF-8  
transform of 'AC'X), but rather what various current interpreters expect.

I believe that NetRexx supports a UTF-8 encoding of the source, but I was 
concerned with classic and OO flavors.

Subject: Re: Logical Nor (¬) in ASCII-based code pages?

Unicode is the way to go in this case. In that space, logical not is
"U+00AC", so the AA you're seeing is wrong.

In the 8-bit days (prior to Unicode), I would recommend ISO 8859-1 (so
called "Western Latin 1"). There too, logical not is 0xAC.

Does this help?
