Already exists: https://github.com/qntm/base65536 https://github.com/qntm/base65536 It's actually pretty useful for compressing data in Unicode-aware environments, like Twitter. Which makes me wonder if Unicode support is universal enough now that an encoding like this could replace MIME/base64 in email.
