Nobody has lost anything. Same situation as back then.
Just software instead of hardware. And therefore
easier.

With a VT220 you needed a swedish/danish keyboard instead
of the US keyboard.

With a Windows PC you need swedish/danish keyboard
installed instead of US keyboard installed. Well - one
can have multiple keyboards installed which makes it
a little easier to switch. And there is the Character
Map thingy exposing everything.
