Create new ASCII characters
Hi,
Is there any way to create my own ascii characters?
i.e I would like for example to create a set of characters that can mean different words.
i.e
# - Hello
Where # would be my custom ASCII character.
I would then write a software app that could understand my custom ASCII set.
Thanks
Re: Create new ASCII characters
Well you could just create a table of your own character definitions and go by that. There's nothing that says how you have to do it.
I would define all your custom characters first, say use a byte or two bytes per character, and then check each byte/two bytes of a file in this format against the definition for that value in your table.

Thing is I need 11 million characters. Each will have its own symbol. How do I start about doing something like this?
i.e how do I create all these symbols and give them a code?
