BTW, how did nix get such a weird alphabet for 0-31 ? Watermarking themselves? :)

“This is to reduce the possibility that hash representations contain character sequences that are potentially offensive to someusers (a known possibility with alphanumeric representations of numbers).”

Kind regards,
