You probably think I'm going to talk about very old character sets like
EBCDIC
here. Well, I won't. EBCDIC is not relevant to your life. We don't have to
go
that far back in time.
Back in the semi-olden days, when Unix was being invented and K&R were
writing The C Programming Language, everything was very simple. EBCDIC
was on its way out.

Alas, that's merely wishful thinking. It's decates past K&R, and we're
still afflicted with EBCDIC.
