ASCII (wiki) is the older way of doing character encoding for computers.
Isekai (also wiki) is a sub genre of anime that involves getting teleported from a normal world to a fantasy/sci-fi setting. Getting hit by a vehicle in an Isekai anime has become a meme as the means of being teleported.
The 1985 in Seattle… Idk what’s referencing specifically.
Edit: I should have included IBM in my googling haha Looks like IBM in Seattle in 1985 (IBM website) was really hitting its stride

Older, but still in use everywhere.
well, i’d say more systems use unicode nowadays, especially if you only count user-facing software…
though, yeah, because univode is a superset of ascii, ascii’s still technically very much in use and very popular!
You underestimate the amount of legacy code, or standards that enforce it like AIS for ship transponders or ASTERIX for aircraft callsigns etc.
