Hey! I have a little bit of a belly, but not yet enough to justify calling
me "Marcone". :-)
BTW, your careful analysis of Morse needing four code units made me think
that there could be a "digital Morse", where each code unit takes up two
bits. E.g.:
00: letter gap
01: dot
10: dash
11: word gap
Up to four code units could stay in each octet. E.g., the word "MORSE" would
become:
Morse: -- --- .-. ... .
Bits: 10100010 10100001 10010001 01010001
Hex: 0xA2 0xA1 0x91 0x51
Wow! One octet less than ASCII! :-)
