That is because typewriters used to utilize the letter [ I ] or [ l ] as one and if they felt fancy they would backspace and tap [ ' ] to make it look a tad closer to 1, if they wanted to really get fancy they would backspace scroll the paper up a bit and hit [ , ] to really make it look like 1.
As for 0 they utilized a O or o if they wanted to be fancy they'd go back one and hit / to clarify that it was indeed a zero.
I substituted the 1 for I, as there is no "1" key on the Typewriter, although I guess that's characteristic of most typewriters.
I also accidentally put an @ symbol instead of a " symbol and there's no correcting fluid in this simulator, so, we just have to go with the @" hybrid for now.
I love this program though, it's really nice to fidget and play around with!
it's based on an old smith corona typewriter, they didn't have 1's because you could use a lowercase L instead :) same with the exclamation point. i wanted to keep this typewriter accurate!

It’s imperfect; it’s riddled with typos; but it is what it is.

Was thinking of what to type for a test run, and what better to try than video game lines?
Remembered seeing old typewriter emojis in a post on tumblr once, so I looked it up and made the mouse. The rest is just junk i goofed around at
I might be a shitarse for this, but it's unassailable- not "unassalable". Though, your rain cloud, I must say, has been executed with great èclat! <3
My source material had a typo then, because I followed it as carefully as I could. That's what I get for using a reddit post XD
Thanks! I like drawing them traditionally too

Tutorial \/
sorry for all the typos.
type H and press backspace and press T and got a square!
took a bit of retrying and skipped a line and spaced at the wrong time, but everything's fine (yes, I did use "i"s for numerical 1.)
type L but in lowercase and you got 1!
Uhh Guys.... The 1 key is right behind me, isn't it?
type lowercase L and you got 1! to type ! type . then go back and type '
NO 1 and ! LIKE IN REAL LIFE
making a dictionary because yes. (when i finish i will put everything to a pdf for printing)
do it!!! i will pay you 1 dollar if you complete this
