A unicode-based encoding scheme that presents binary data (sequence of 8-bit bytes) in sequences of 14-bit printable Chinese characters. It saves 17% space compared to base64.
Inspired by fumiama/base16384.
Base16384 uses 16384 (214) Chinese characters (from \u4E00 to \u8DFF) to represent binary data.
If the length of the binary data is not a multiple of 7, we will add a \u3D0x (where x is the remainder modulo 7) after the output.
| Base64 | Base16384 | |
|---|---|---|
| Overhead | 33% | 14% |
| Charset | [0-9a-zA-Z+/] |
[\u4E00-\u8DFF] |
| Example | RXhhbXBsZQ== |
