A character map for the squirt computer. It just removes the unnecessary stuff that ASCII has in its lower codepoints and replaces it with more common characters.
Character | N | y | a
Values | 6 b | 3 a | 2
Bits | 0110 1011 | 0011 1010 | 0010
Glue bit | ^ | ^ |
The nibbles 6b3a2 will print the string "Nya"
If a given nibble (X) has the "glue bit" (0x8) set, then the nibble before it (Y) would join together to make a value that I assume would be larger than 7. Both X and Y are girls. The bitwise formula is as follows:
(X & 7) | (Y << 3)
