You're talking about the US national variant of ISO-646.

That's a meaningless interpretation of what I wrote.

What the fuck could I have meant when I wrote "the new ASCII that I 
don't remember the name of"? Could it be that I didn't remember the name 
ASCII that I mentioned in that very sentence? Yes, that must surely have 
been what I meant.

But wait, that's already clarified up-thread, in the parts you snipped: 
it was ISO 646, the international, ISO version of ASCII.

Removing significant context and introducing one's own apparent context 
instead, is not like debate or clarification.

That's instead a common trolling technique.

Yes, and as you well know that's irrelevant to anything in this thread.

Perhaps there were reasons that caused you to not see as relevant the 
stuff that you snipped, but a debate or clarification can't be your goal 
because you can't be unaware of the facts: you're presenting some.

The stuff that you snipped included reference to ISO 646, the 
international version of ASCII, which from (apparently) 1972 to 
(verified) 1991 had the `$` replaced with an unusable international 
currency symbol `¤`.

Yes, and again, as you well know that's irrelevant to anything.

Not sure if I should plink you, you're not usually trolling this way,
