Pigpen Masonic Encoder
Encode explicit pigpen canonical ASCII symbol IDs, undotted grid A–I, dotted J–R, undotted X S–V and dotted W–Z; not visual glyph/font inference. Classical educational encoding only; not secure encryption, no hidden normalization or inferred key.
Description
Pigpen notation represents letters with grid and cross forms.
Pigpen notation represents letters with grid and cross forms.1
This tool uses textual tokens for those forms rather than drawing graphical symbols. Use Pigpen Masonic Encoder to evaluate the supplied inputs under the specific model below.
When to use Pigpen Masonic Encoder
Use Pigpen Masonic Encoder to evaluate the supplied inputs under the specific model below. Choose the intended encoding, alphabet or check and keep the exact character, key and measurement conventions described below.
How to use Pigpen Masonic Encoder and understand its results
- Choose the intended encoding, alphabet or check and keep the exact character, key and measurement conventions described below.
- Enter Text using the field table and validation rules below, then run the tool.
- Read Transformed and interpret units, signs, ordering and placeholders as explained below.
- If the tool reports an input error, correct that field and rerun. A successful false result, empty match list or unknown-evidence placeholder has the specific meaning described here; check the limitations before applying the result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| text | Text | string | Required; constraints below |
Enter uppercase A–Z text of at most 4096 characters. Return fixed textual Pigpen tokens separated by single spaces: A–I use G1 through G9, J–R the dotted G tokens, S–V X1 through X4, and W–Z dotted X tokens. Empty text returns an empty string. This encodes a particular textual convention rather than drawing symbols or covering historical variants.
A..I→G1..G9; J..R→G1...G9.; S..V→X1..X4; W..Z→X1...X4. Field order, units and branch conditions follow the implementation explanation above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| transformed | Transformed | string |

"input": {
"text": "ABZ"
},
"output": {
"transformed": "G1 G2 X4."
}
}Limitations and assumptions
This tool uses textual tokens for those forms rather than drawing graphical symbols. Apply the exact scope and assumptions described above.
All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays fail validation. Domain-specific bounds, alignments and supported tokens are stated above; extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. These errors differ from successful results such as false, no matches or unknown evidence.
This educational transformation or format check does not establish modern cryptographic confidentiality, authentication or key security.
