   there is mention of 0x8d in FSC-0079, FSC-0081.01A... more importantly, they   
   are also mentioned in FTS-0001 so they were in use on or before 1995... i'm   
   pretty sure they were in use up to a decade before... they may have been   
   brought in by folks using wordstar and similar editors to write their   
   messages...   
      
   either way, there are here and there was needed some workarounds for them to   
   be used as actual visible characters in those languages that use them for   
   such... mainly the workarounds being to ignore them and not use them as   
   wordwrap marks... especially since wordwrapping has basically been moved to   
   the reader's side of the fence instead of the writer's...
