you use a font that makes those Unicode characters look like they
did on their original platform, there is no issue. But a given
font can only emulate one platform at a time. You're not going to
get a C64 and PET/VIC-20 frankenstein of a document. Take your
pick: do you want it to look like C64, or do you want it to look
like PET/VIC-20? Choose your font accordingly.</blockquote>
