IBM code page 273 is an EBCDIC code page with the full Latin-1 character set used in IBM mainframes. It is used in Germany and Austria.

CCSID 1141 is the Euro currency update of code page/CCSID 273. In that code page, the "¤" (currency) character at code point 9F is replaced with the "€" (Euro) character.
Codepage layout
Characters 00–3F and FF are controls, 40 is space, 41 is no-break space, and CA is soft hyphen. Characters are shown with their equivalent Unicode codes. Invariant alphanumeric, punctuation, and control characters are shown in color.
Characters are shown with their Unicode equivalents.
Code page translation
Since CP 273 contains all of the standard Latin-1 characters, it is possible to translate the character codes from the CP 037 charset to ISO 8859-1 character codes, so that translation back to the CP 037 charset is an exact value-preserving round-trip conversion. Likewise, half of the control character codes can be translated into their exact ASCII equivalents. If the remaining EBCDIC-only control characters are translated (arbitrarily) into the remaining unused ASCII codes points (hex 80 to 9F) as well, the resulting translation covers all of the 256 character code points. Such a translation table is shown below:
