Hidden by a braindead keymap.  All this crap started with some Winlose
keymap, i believe... The German keyboard layout has two keys with an
apostrophe, key #21 (top right, labelled "' `"), and #51 (bottom
right, labelled "# '").  While both variants yield an apostrophe in my
(and in pcvt's) keymap, somebody decided to use the ISO 8859-1 special
char "ī" for the top right key.  This is annoying since this key is
much more handy for an apostroph than Shift-#, so most people now
erroneously generate the ISO `acute' character where they should use
an apostrophe.  Some smaller fonts make it even very hard to
distinguish both characters, of course, unless you use one of the
older X11 fonts that are not capable of displaying the upper half of
the ISO 8859-1 charset at all :), you'll yield a blank there.

You didn't read my previous posting till the end.  I've quoted a
quick-hack shell pipeline there.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
