ObCC: so what
did you UKans do to get your funny-looking L on
computers, terminals, and printers imported from ASCII-speaking
countries?
It's character 0xA3 (decimal 163, octal 243) in ISO Latin 1, and most
systems that don't have a special key for it map it to the "#" key. On
older systems, quite often the drivers replace the "#" character with the
pound symbol, but some replace the "$". from disk at boot). Diablo 96-spoke daisywheels used
either ESC-Y or ESC-Z
(Not in a position to look it up and I can't remember what
the 96th spoke
was for, either)
