Sounds like the Standard Chinese telegraph code. The regular Chinese code book
had 4 characters but the standard had three, so as to cut the cost (charged by
# of characters) of sending a telegraph msg.

Anybody have info about this?
ca 1980 in radio room of a boat on Yangtze River I saw book with 26 pg of 26
columns & 26 rows — all lettered A to Z. Each square had Chinese symbol for,
say, “The temperature is …” Thus a 3-character code could send or inquire about
17,576 items.
