(Looking it up, it turns out that ASCII, which the ASR-33 uses, didn't begin to exist until 1960. On the other hand, and to my surprise, binary character encodings in general (not counting Morse Code, which is effectively a trinary encoding) have existed since 1870! Various forms of Baudot code did have apostrophes, but the first widely-adopted standard encoding, and the encoding thus probably used by the Intel Office's equipment, seems to be ITA2, which indeed lacks it.) |
