If I wanted a terminal emulation I would not ask for hardware.
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.

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).
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. paul
I use TeraTerm 4, as termial. Could you supply a windows "DEC Multinational
Character Set" font so I know the program will work correctly. paul
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.
