Try the codebook

Type an English letter, a number, or a punctuation mark. You can also flip the eight switches yourself.

ASCII uses the numbers 0 to 127. The first 32 do jobs such as starting a new line, and number 32 is a space. Most of the numbers that follow stand for visible letters, numbers, and punctuation.

Open the full ASCII table to see all 128 entries.

The switch pattern becomes a number. The shared codebook turns that number into a character.

See if you can find the letter C using only the switches.
