In my experience, this approach works very well.

I use a very few fields that contain "words" made up of an alphabet of 
UTF-8 symbols to find the possible (permutations and combinations) subsets 
I am specifically interested in.  By adding symbols like the Pin (and other 
Smilies or recognizable Unicode symbols or international airport signs) it 
becomes relatively easy to effectively create your own language that 
optimizes your mental abilities and the Search and Tag capabilities of 
TiddlyWiki.

This is actually analogous to the Words used in a natural language, if you 
consider the 26 letters of the English alphabet to be the coefficients of 
the positional notation base. e.g "ball" = 2x26^3 + 1x26^2 + 12x26^1 + 
12x26^0

You can play with the math a bit to see that a long English word of say 20 
characters would have 26^20-1 possible distinct meanings.  In short [ :-) 
], the complete dictionary of English natural language can be thought of as 
an EXTREMELY sparse array, populated with a very few words.  And a good 
co-ordinate system to start working with is the 128 x 256 x 256 x 256 array 
of the Unicode symbols, which include some very useful subsets like the 
ranges for Mathematical symbols and Chinese Telegraphy code.
