Another interesting solution to this problem is that used by plus codes [1]:
> The characters that are used in Open Location Codes were chosen by computing all possible 20 character combinations from 0-9A-Z and scoring them on how well they spell 10,000 words from over 30 languages. This was to avoid, as far as possible, Open Location Codes being generated that included recognisable words. The selected 20 character set is made up of "23456789CFGHJMPQRVWX". [2]

- cortesoft 7y agoDoes not help with the ambiguous character problem at all, though
- IAmEveryone 7y agoNo I,1,0, or O in their alphabet, though. So they did probably consider the problem at some point. Or got lucky.
