an 8-bit character encoding

Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) is an 8-bit character encoding used on IBM mainframe and minicomputer operating systems.

Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code

Examples include ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code).

the character encoding technique which employs 8 bits to represent each character known as EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code),

IBM created the character encoding technique known as EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code), which employs 8 bits to represent each character.

the ampersand symbol '&'

In ASCII the character in the 80th position (indexed from 0) is the letter 'P', and in EBCDIC EBCDIC is the ampersand symbol '&'.

a binary code for alphabetic and numeric characters

EBCDIC is a binary code for alphabetic and numeric characters that IBM developed for IBM's larger operating systems.

an alternative to ASCII

Files that come from a Mainframe are usually encoded using EBCDIC, which is an alternative to ASCII.

a 256bit code

Back to the ebcdic/ascii problem ... ebcdic is a 256bit code and ascii is a 127bit code ... and even tho ebcdic had more bit positions ...

for-Extended

EBCDIC stands for-Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code.
