Also, this is wrong anyway.

The sequences are the same [A etc - regardless of
EBCDIC or ANSI - you just need to compile on the
appropriate platform - exactly the same as the
characters in "hello world" - they are resolved
to ASCII or EBCDIC by the compiler.

And it has been like that - forever.

The only issue is that there is no \e and ANSI X3.64
uses that character - rightly or wrongly - and I am
using that standard - rightly or wrongly.
