Originally, carriage return was the term for the control character in Baudot code on a teletypewriter for end of line return to beginning of line and did not include line feed. Later it was used for a mechanism or lever on a typewriter that would cause the cylinder on which the paper was held to return to the left side of the paper after a line of text had been typed, and would usually move the paper to the next line as well. The first power carriage return was added to electric typewriters by Smith Corona in 1960. The key for this was usually labelled "carriage return" or "return". To improve the keyboard for non-English-speakers, the symbol ? was introduced to mark this key, since this graphic could communicate the action of the key without using words.
