EBCDIC \EBCDIC\ ([e^]b"s[e^]*d[i^]k`), n. [acronym from Extended
Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code.] (Computers)
a 8-bit code for representing alphanumerical information in a
digital information storage medium. It was used expecially on
IBM mainframes, and differed substantially from the ASCII
code. [acronym]

From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
EBCDIC
/eb's@?dik/, /eb?see`dik/, /eb?k@?dik/, n.
[abbreviation, Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code] An alleged
character set used on IBM {dinosaur}s. It exists in at least six mutually
incompatible versions, all featuring such delights as non-contiguous letter
sequences and the absence of several ASCII punctuation characters fairly
important for modern computer languages (exactly which characters are
absent varies according to which version of EBCDIC you're looking at). IBM
adapted EBCDIC from {punched card} code in the early 1960s and promulgated
it as a customer-control tactic (see {connector conspiracy}), spurning the
already established ASCII standard. Today, IBM claims to be an open-systems
company, but IBM's own description of the EBCDIC variants and how to
convert between them is still internally classified top-secret,
burn-before-reading. Hackers blanch at the very name of EBCDIC and consider
it a manifestation of purest {evil}. See also {fear and loathing}.
