A note on character mappings

The glyphs have been mapped to Unicode codepoints with the help of a Tandy-200 mapping created by hackerb9. I have erred on the side of not providing a codepoint for glyphs where no obvious match was found. For the graphical glyphs in these sets, no documentation was found to determine the glyph designer's intentions as to their meaning.

If you have documentation about the meaning or contemporary use of these glyphs, please get in touch.

Olivetti M10 national versions

The Olivetti M10 came in five different national versions. Each had a different keyboard and a different character map. I have included the US and UK versions, for which I had access to original character sets. Furthermore, the Italian version is documented in the Italian-language operations guide and some of the mappings of the German version are remarked upon at Retrochallenge 2016/01. These sources are consistent with the assumption that these versions used the same mappings as documented in the BASIC guide for the Olivetti M20

The following code points differ:

23 40 5b 5c 5d 60 7b 7c 7d 7e
US # @ [ \ ] ` { | } ~
Italy £ § ° ç é ù à ò è ì
France £ à ° ç § ` é ù è ¨
UK £ @ [ \ ] ` { | } ~
Germany # § Ä Ö Ü ` ä ö ü ß

Notes:

  • All glyphs are contained in the US set; only the codepoint mappings differ.
  • These mappings agree with the DEC National Replacement Character Sets.
