that's like saying l and I are the same letters because they look similar in some sans serif fonts.

- somat 1y agoearly typewriters had no 0 or 1, you were expected to use I or O. So at least there they were the same letter. There was a great article posted here not too long ago about the actual origin of the qwerty keyboard, spoiler, it was not actually designed to slow typing down. Anyway a fun fact found in that article was why "I" is where it is. An early adopter of the typewriter was a telegraph transcription company. and they wanted "I" moved near the end of the numbers so using it as a "1" they could type the 18 in 1875 quicker. https://repository.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2433/139379/1/42_161.pdf https://repository.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2433...
