I was hoping to read about a text format with a parity bit!

  That would be a bit of an overkill now, 1 parity bit for every 8 bits of information? Also, text is a representation format, not a transfer/storage format, so I reckon it's not really the job of the character encoding to do error detection. Yes, I know, I'm taking this way too seriously. :)

    Actually, with 13 bits you could do in-character single bit error correction.
