Was just documenting the KittenMoji standard I use to Base256 encode your ed25519 secret key in Kitten.
The full alphabet:
Maybe I’ll make a limited-edition poster of it sometime :)
@aral is this based on the emoji multibase or a different alphabet/algo? I've seen a few diff emoji bases over the years
@by_caballero Hadn’t heard of multibase (just looked it up, nice idea). This is just a basic map optimised for encoding/decoding ed25519 secret keys with a one-to-one mapping of bytes to emoji.

@aral Haha nice! The backstory is that I was trying to figure out which entries in the Multibase registry were realistic to bring to IANA if Multibase were to become an RFC governed by a WG, and I opted to leave emojibase out because there were multiple competing prior arts and the one registered in multibase seemed to conflict with more widely-used ones. It's a v low priority for me but I always mention it to people working on base-encodings just in case it's something they care more about :D
