- Dylan16807 2y agoISO 8859-1 did not exist back then. Edit: Its 1983 predecessor that added accented characters was made for the VT220, and it used a buffer of 8 bit character codes, no way to combine. (Some of those terminals could be sent a limited number of custom characters to store in RAM, but that's a very different mechanism as far as I can tell.) Edit 2: I made an error before, the naked accents were not in the predecessor, they were even newer.
