[bars] Alive! It's alive!

[KC1SOZ]

So, for some reason (probably driven by my finishing the code to transmit
non-Latin characters in morse code), I was wondering how do hams in Japan
and China, for example, transmit in morse code? For Japan I first thought
of Romanji, but then realized that any code using it would be easier to
break. So I looked a little deeper and ran into Wabun, the code used to
transmit Kana characters. Then I looked even deeper and smacked right into
the little monster that is the Chinese Telegraph Code of 1872.

It was then that I realized I have somehow managed to jump head-first into
a very deep rabbit hole. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
