Question for the wider universe: Sometime in the mid-90s I came across a hardware terminal that was apparently designed for APL. Among other weirdnesses it supported composition-- you could type "=", backspace, "/", and end up with "≠". The hardware itself was probably from the 80s. Has anyone heard of such a thing, or was this all a vivid hallucination?
