Nope,

Those are different versions of ASCII values.

For example,

The "$" is oct 44, hex 24 in ASCII, but is hex 5B in EBCDIC.
Inputting at CI gives
:calc $5B (EBCDIC hex for "$")
91, $5B, %133

Yes, it's called the command interpreter.  Simply use the CALC function.

For instance...

    PUB:calc $ff
    255, $FF, %377
