I think a lot of old TV programs used the MICR characters such as seen on
bank checks. (or cheques).
The C-itoh 101 line of VT-100-compatible terminals had the MICR font built
into ROM - you issued a (documented) control sequence and switched the
font. We had a lot of those back in the day (they were lots cheaper than a
DEC VT-102), so it was fun to hack the control sequence into folks'
LOGIN.COM files on VMS. ;-)
