Yes Chris.
Convert the alphabet into Murray code then binary, and everything then
appears as 0 and 1 in its simplest form.

Dear Mal and others,
Come on Jim, learn the Murray code.
Prof. Tony Brooker, who wrote the first compiler compiler and later became
Essex University's first Professor of Computing, once told me that he used
to use Murray's code in his early days. Not on the radio, but for
programming, sometimes in absolute binary. He commented that you got to know
that if, for instance, the character was a an inverted comma and you wanted
to set bit 4 then it became a digit 7 (or a letter U, at taste).
They didn't eat quiche in those days.
