Research direction

Start with BPO issue 30586 and the migrated Unicode metadata; no source files or tests are named. Review the reported EBCDIC conversion-table irregularity and the recorded “not a bug” resolution, with the investigation complete only when that resolution is justified or a concrete change is identified.
