This is a base 80 encoding that uses the 40 characters (upper and lower case) of the deseret alphabet invented by pioneers in the mid 1800s. It's not a very useful encoding since it's less efficient than base-16. But it is a pretty fun unicode test since these are high enough in the unicode space to require surrogate pairs in JavaScript.

On some Linux systems the built-in fonts don't cover this range. On Ubuntu I ran the following to get near full unicode support:
