Hello!
What's wrong with ordinary English characters, and all upper case? It
wasn't until the development of the computer, that teletypes suddenly
found themselves speaking upper and lower case.

I think you'll find they're LATIN characters, derived from the Etruscans,
who got their script from the Greeks who in turn got it from Byblos, Lebanon,
AKA Jbeil. Great little town, pretty girls, good food and awesome little
corner bars in the medieval souq.
