<h3><a name="ImportantNotesDefaultCP">Using the default codepage</a></h3>
<p>Starting in ICU 2.0, when the default codepage cannot be opened, a
fallback default codepage will be used. On most platforms, this will be
US-ASCII. For os/390 (z/OS), ibm-1047-s390 is the default fallback
codepage. For as/400 (iSeries), ibm-37 is the default fallback codepage.
This default fallback codepage is used when the operating system is using
a non-standard name for a default codepage, or the converter was not
packaged with ICU. The feature allows ICU to run in unusual
computing environments without completely failing.</p>
