Problems in Specific Languages
Commodore brand 8-bit computers used PETSCII encoding, particularly notable for inverting the upper and lower case compared to standard ASCII. PETSCII printers worked fine on other computers of the era, but flipped the case of all letters.
In German, Buchstabensalat (letter salad) is a common term for this phenomenon.
