Way back in the early 80s I worked for AES Data, then of word-processor fame... One of my tasks was to work out keyboard encodings for ALL the to-be-supported keyboards - worldwide! The German and French ones were the easy ones; there were Viet Namese, Tamil, various Indian sub-continent ones, you name it. Of course, once Word Star came out, it was pretty much game over for AES.
