The problem was fixed fairly well with the introduction of the DEC Multinational
Character Set, which later morphed into ISO Latin-1 (with the curious omission of
the oe ligature) and later the various other Latin-<n> sets. And the problem
was solved completely with Unicode.
Could you point me to a Unicode Terminal ?
There must be thousands in dumpsters with unicode 1.0.
No, since current Unicode is an upware compatible extension of the original.
Typical modern terminal emulator programs handle Unicode; my Mac certainly does
and there are even examples for Windows (like Putty).
If I wanted a terminal emulation I would not ask for hardware.

I use TeraTerm 4, as termial. Could you supply a windows "DEC Multinational
Character Set" font so I know the program will work correctly.
No, but you could make one up easily enough. Start with Latin-1, and replace
the few characters that are different. A VT220 reference will tell you the
ones to replace. Any font editor should do this easily.
For now I am stuck with US ASCII 1969. I got a WYSE terminal I can use,
but for now need to transfer files to a remote computer, thus the PC.

Is there any one working on a stand alone terminal that will
emulate hard copy over strikes? What are people using to replace
the ageing hard copy devices paper tape and printers.
