To represent a bunch of information in a way that doesn't require a ton of characters and is easy to write down, I've settled on a Base-32 code format. There are 32 characters in the alphabet, and each character represents 5-bits of data. This version of Base-32 uses all 10 numbers, uppercase consonants, and an asterisk. When characters can visually conflict, only one option is kept. For example, with O (oh) and 0 (zero) it would be hard to tell the difference so only the 0 (zero) is used. Vowels are left out to prevent the creation of codes that have foul language in them.
