- On the Amiga ALT-L (or ALT-l) produces "ú" but I always figured it
- wouldn't survive transmission by uucp. Now I'm curious. "ú" isn't in my
- table of ASCII characters and I thought the high-order bit didn't survive
- its handling by the network. "ú" is 0xa3 (10100011), definitely an 8-bit
- value.
