Back in the early 1980's, I grew up on 8-bit processors and latin-1 was all we 
had for ASCII. Over the last several days from reading this thread (and 
variations thereof), l've seen several extended characters that I have no clue 
on how to reproduce on my keyboard. I haven't embraced extended character sets 
yet, which means I still think of ASCII characters as being 0 through 255 
(8-bit).

Thank you,
