The lowercase characters are non-unique, which may be what GP was referring to. For instance "ox" and "co" can only be distinguished by context.

if more than one bit of color was allowed you could make different levels of grey/opacity hint at where the opening in the symbol should be. just as learnable and now it's unique.
taken to a silly extreme, you could compress 26 letters into 2 pixels, 3 colors, and 3 levels of opacity. before even considering a time-dimension.
a mantis shrimp just needs one pixel with color.
What is wrong with morse code? Just need one pixel that blinks.
