Just for a laugh... one of the more esoteric codings I used in the quasi modern error (besides EBCDIC) was the 5 bit Quotron stock ticker system in the mid 90s. It used different codes for requesting/receiving quotes because 2^5 is only 32 possible characters. Alpha in/numeric out.

That will be a start, but it’s not done until you include Baudot.

Morse, however, is optional . . .
