What if a type is created solely from the bit-representation of characters?

如果僅根據(jù)字符的位表示形式創(chuàng)建類型怎么辦？

This question was the basis of creating this experimental type. The type no longer uses familiar characters. ‘A’ looks like colon ‘:’ and that makes no sense. Except, it does. Each character uses its bit-representation as the raw information to construct its symbol. Obviously, this is not meant for use in the general sense. This is an exploration pursued merely seeing how a type or information would look like with a type with no familiar symbols. I also wanted to create what can be the simplest type in terms of visual information carried by each character to display.

這個問題是創(chuàng)建這種實(shí)驗(yàn)類型的基礎(chǔ)。 該類型不再使用熟悉的字符。 “ A”看起來像冒號“：”，這沒有任何意義。 除了，確實(shí)如此。 每個字符都使用其位表示作為原始信息來構(gòu)造其符號。 顯然，這并不是一般意義上的使用。 這只是在沒有熟悉符號的情況下查看類型或信息的外觀而進(jìn)行的探索。 我還想創(chuàng)建一個可以顯示每個角色所攜帶的視覺信息的最簡單的類型。

So it’s called RawCode, for as it is itself. It is based on ISO-8859–1 (Latin1) character encoding and has 256 unique characters. Control characters also have symbols. RawCode is set as mono-spaced if that matters. Maybe for the sake of simplifying the job for the OCR.

因此它被稱為RawCode，因?yàn)樗旧砭褪撬?它基于ISO-8859–1(Latin1)字符編碼，并且具有256個唯一字符。 控制字符也有符號。 如果重要的話，將RawCode設(shè)置為等距。 也許是為了簡化OCR的工作。

The construction is super simple. Each pair from 8-bits are stacked vertically. The resultant information is colored black or white based on the bit’s state, and the character is constructed. See the below graphic to get an idea of this construction. Similarly, all 256 characters are constructed.

施工非常簡單。 每對8位垂直排列。 根據(jù)位的狀態(tài)，結(jié)果信息將顯示為黑色或白色，并構(gòu)造了字符。 請參閱下圖以了解這種構(gòu)造。 同樣，將構(gòu)造所有256個字符。

How are characters constructed from their 8-bit representation?如何從其8位表示形式構(gòu)造字符？

I hope you have liked this. But now, on a more serious note, I stumbled on this idea when studying data compression long ago. A dictionary while data decompression may be analogous to vector data to render the character. And more big the dictionary is or complex the vector drawing, longer it will take to render on the screen. While it may not be significant from the point of modern display systems but it is still valid in theory. Besides, such studies can be useful in Visual Cryptography.

我希望你喜歡這個。 但是現(xiàn)在，更嚴(yán)肅地說，我很久以前在研究數(shù)據(jù)壓縮時偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個想法。 數(shù)據(jù)解壓縮時的字典可能類似于矢量數(shù)據(jù)以呈現(xiàn)字符。 字典越大或矢量繪圖越復(fù)雜，則在屏幕上渲染所需的時間就越長。 盡管從現(xiàn)代顯示系統(tǒng)的角度來看可能并不重要，但從理論上講它仍然有效。 此外，這樣的研究在視覺密碼學(xué)中可能是有用的。

That’s all about this useless type. Available under SIL Open Font License 1.1 I’m not sure what you will use it for, but feel free to study/remix/use in any way. Share your work using RawCode with me @0xf17 or @mathscapes on Twitter. Font can be downloaded from the above link.

這就是所有無用的類型。 根據(jù)SIL Open Font License 1.1可用，我不確定您將使用它什么，但是隨時可以以任何方式學(xué)習(xí)/混合/使用。 在Twitter上與我@ 0xf17或@mathscapes共享使用RawCode的工作。 字體可以從上面的鏈接下載。
