So odd that it has a £ that suggests some sort of accounting function whilst also having
a /= maybe suggesting some sort of logic function
Interesting. That reminds me a lot of the THE ALGOL keyboard, but some details are
different. The THE version doesn't have a divide sign (instead that is formed by
underlining a colon), and not-equal is also an overstrike. The shift-six is presumably a
multiply sign.
