 Encodings with different bit patterns for uppercase and lowercase
 had been proposed as early as 1959, [#Bemer_1959]_
 though they were not widely implemented.

 Early on, ASCII committee concluded that 6-bit encodings (64 bit patterns)
 were insufficient to include both control characters and special characters
