return from interrupt
<programming> (RTI) An instruction mnemonic on many computers including
the 6502 and 6800. The variant "RETI" is found among former Zilog Z80 hackers
(almost nobody programs these things in assembly code anymore). The Intel 80x86
equivalent is "IRET".

which the carrier (current, voltage) returns to zero after each transmitted bit,
i.e. the data is carried in pulse width or polarity, not in the level of the
signal.
