Comparison of cipher alphabets

This is a side-by-side comparison of the alphabets used in the 340 and 408 ciphers.

Column descriptions

 * Symbol: The ciphertext symbol as it appears in the original cipher.
 * ASCII: The ASCII version of the symbol, as per the Webtoy's transcription scheme.
 * 340 Count: The number of times this symbol appears in the 340-character cipher.
 * 408 Count: The number of times this symbol appears in the 408-character cipher.
 * Total: The total number of times this symbol appears in either or both ciphers.
 * Difference: The difference between the number of times this symbol appears in the 340-character cipher and the number of times it appears in the 408-character cipher (it is interesting when the difference is zero).
 * 408 Plaintext: If this symbol is used in the 408, this is the plaintext translation as discovered by the [Hardens].

Each row appears with a colored background. When the background is blue, the symbol appears only in the 408-character cipher. When the background is green, the symbol appears only in the 340-character cipher. When the background is gray, the symbol appears in both ciphers.

Click the box in the headings to sort by a specific column. Here are ways that this is useful:
 * Sorting by 340 Count or 408 Count will show you which symbols are frequently or seldom used in each cipher.
 * Sorting by Total will show you which symbols are frequently or seldom used in both ciphers.
 * Sorting by difference will show you which symbols have the same count in both ciphers.
 * Sorting by 408 Plaintext will show you the homophones used for each plaintext letter.

Observations

 * The 340 cipher has 63 different ciphertext letters.
 * The 408 cipher has 54 different ciphertext letters.
 * [[File:B.jpg]] appears in both ciphers the same number of times (12 each).
 * [[File:caret.jpg]] appears in both ciphers the same number of times (6 each).
 * [[File:n7.jpg]] appears in both ciphers the same number of times (3 each).
 * Six symbols are in the 408 and are not in the 340 (Seven if you treat [[File:i.jpg]] and [[File:bar.jpg]] as different symbols):
 * [[File:funnyi.jpg]], [[File:q.jpg]], [[File:backslash.jpg]], [[File:be.jpg]], [[File:br.jpg]], [[File:sidek.jpg]]
 * Fifteen symbols are in the 340 and are not in the 408 (Sixteen if you treat [[File:i.jpg]] and [[File:bar.jpg]] as different symbols):
 * [[File:pf.jpg]], [[File:dash.jpg]], [[File:dot.jpg]], [[File:n1.jpg]], [[File:n2.jpg]], [[File:n3.jpg]], [[File:n4.jpg]], [[File:idr.jpg]], [[File:idl.jpg]], [[File:lt.jpg]], [[File:gt.jpg]], [[File:c.jpg]], [[File:bb.jpg]], [[File:by.jpg]], [[File:sql.jpg]]
