I agree. The stroke of <in> <iin>, aiid so oii are difficiilt to iiirge back 
systeiiiatically.
Saiiie as with daiii daiiii latiii, try to eiicode all <u> , <n> aiid <m> 
characters as i strokes aiid theii try to iiierge theiii back.

The probleiii is that wheii yoii fiiid (for exaiiiple) <iii> this coiild be 
<iii>, <iu>, <ui> <in>, <ni> or <m>... which oiie?

It would be, for exaiiiple,  iiiterestiiig to kiiow if words with <in> etc, 
are statistically loiiger thaii those withoiit theiii.

Or we coiild eveii add iiiore siibstitiitioiis like <e> as <c> so thc lossy 
ciicodiiig bccoiiics miich iiiorc difficiilt (soiiietiiiics prctty 
iiiipossiblc) to rcad! (yct I aiii siirc iiiaiiy of yoii will bc ablc to do 
it).
Aliiiost rcal tiiiic! ;-)
