You don't go far enough. Lets do some language reform. The entire alphabet is always just 5 bits expressed in different mediums. Lets make the written characters are all based on 5 sticks coming out of a central point literally representing your hand. Sign language, pretty obvious. Morse code, the up / down fingers directly translate to holding the key down or not. Braille, same as Morse. Digital displays, 5 segments instead of 7. Flag signals, mildly tricky since you only have two arms, but it can be done by mirroring the symbols so that there's 10 positions (top and bottom half), and then the bottom flag positions represent "not here". Alphabetical order is just interpreting the bits as ints. Literally any every way we have ever historically held and communicated natural language unified into a single general purpose encoding. Why settle at simplifying computer codes, when you can simplify the content at the source.
