Ok, I’m planning something like an utility app that can do many things, and encoding and decoding is one of those things. It’s going to be included in [PixOS](https://forum.makecode.com/t/im-making-an-os-for-makecode-arcade-do-you-want-to-help/20615/2) btw! I mean, a reporter block like “encode(‘string’) to (baseXX-morse-HEX-bin)” that could be placed as a variable could be nice. Also, it’s reverse “decode(‘encodedstring’) to (text-unicode-ASCII)” could be nice. _The difference between those three text options might vary._

Do you get it?
