Indeed.

My Stanford compiler tries to be portable across platforms;
due to its IBM mainframe heritage even on platforms that have "strange" 
character sets like EBCDIC.
When I ported it to ASCII based machines in 2016, I had some trouble 
with case statements based on
character variables and expressions.
