Except that ASCII is 7-bit so couldn't accommodate base217. So I'm switching to either 8-bit (such as ISO 8859-1) or larger (unicode). In both of those, 38 is & (since we have to change character coding I see no reason to skip the first 47 positions as we do with ASCII for hexadecimal notation).

Have we killed Kevy's joke yet?
