That being exactly the way “floating diacritics” in ISO 2022 (or properly one of its Latin encodings, T.51 = ISO 6937) work, amusingly. I wonder which came first. (Yes, I know that a<BS>` came first, the ASCII spec even says that this should give you an accented character IIRC. Or perhaps it was one of the other “don’t call it ASCII” specs—ISO 646? IA5?..)
