@vidak Rather you could just store data in a normal fashion.

If for some reason you want to store something on paper and there's no native format (for example, you can just rasterize an image for printing on paper, rather than storing the png bytes), ascii85 seems to be an encoding with not bad efficiency (although you would need to add some parity with par or whatever to account for OCR inaccuracy).

@vidak A 2D esolang!
