Please describe.
On my keyboards (both PC and X-Terminal), the Enter key has the word
"Enter" engraved, whilst the Return key has a U+21B2 Downwards Arrow
with Tip Leftwards (or is it a glyph variant of U+21B5?).
If I remember correctly, my 3270 terminal had the similar engravings
on these keys, viz. "DatFreig" (Datenfreigabe = German translation of
"Enter"), and U+21B5, respectively. Cf. figure 3-1 in IBM form GA27-2837-8
"IBM 3270 Information Display System Character Set Reference".
Btw., the semantics of these 3270 keys were quite different: the Enter
key sends data to zhe host, whilst the Return key is just a local cursor
movement without sending anything.
Best wishes,
Otto Stolz
