By the way, did you take a look at my "fun"
experiment wrt storing data in the roots of complex numbers?

You can encode messages in anything.

    #!/usr/bin/python3

    import sys

    charset = ' .Hadefghilmnoprstwx'
    modulo = 23
    s = 1193321429126088671017703197607273471738040746714878246039040663141374779777444615292185709614467374016367591074170680369683264762098941
    num = iter(range(2, 9999))
    while s != 1 :
        n = next(num)
        if s % n == 0 :
            sys.stdout.write("%s" % charset[(n - 1) % modulo])
            s //= n
        #end if
    #end while
    sys.stdout.write("\n")
