' And herein begin the fun bits, because you can't encode six-symbol prosigns into Scott Edwards's
' length encoding.  Of course, you can't type them into ASCII either - so we re-use some
' convenient punctuation from before the number entries on the ASCII table.  Some of these are
' simply two letters run together, and some still only need four or five symbols.
