You're right, but the "base52" part isn't what you're right about, it's the 'encoded' part. "base52" is accurate, it is a series of base52 characters, however

You're right, but the "base52" part isn't what you're right about, it's the 'encoded' part. "base52" is accurate, it is a series of base52 characters, however it doesn't appear to be the product of an encoding.
- dpark 11y agoBase52 is still not really accurate. Base52 implies an encoding. Further, Base52 is not a standard so it's not even meaningful to say that the characters are from the Base52 set. You could also represent Base52 by including 0-9 and excluding Q-Z. Any string that "looks like" Base52 (azAZ) also looks like Base64 and any number of other encodings.
