New submission from Vladimir Filippov:
These 4 symbols were encoded incorrectly to EBCDIC (codec cp500): "![]|".
Correct table of conversation for these symbols described in
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZJPZ_11.3.0/com.ibm.swg.im.iis.ds.parjob.adref.doc/topics/r_deeadvrf_Conversion_Table_Irregularities.html
This code:
--------------------
ascii = '![]|';
print("ASCII: " + bytes(ascii, 'ascii').hex())
res = ascii.encode('cp500')
print ("EBCDIC: " +res.hex())
--------------------
on Python 3.6.1 produce this output:
--------------------
ASCII: 215b5d7c
EBCDIC: 4f4a5abb
--------------------
Expected encoding (from IBM's table):
! - 5A
[ - AD
] - BD
| - 4F
Workaround: use this translation after encoding
bytes.maketrans(b'\x4F\x4A\x5A\xBB', b'\x5A\xAD\xBD\x4F')
