PETSCII has a kind of version of alt. I found this out about 40 years ago when I was checking for a space on a screen as CHR(32) and couldn't find it, even though it was there as clear as anything. Turned out I had actually typed shift+space instead which looked like a space but was actually a different character number in PETSCII (160).
