I implemented something similar years ago, but much simpler/less sophisticated.

Unicode has two non-printing space characters: zero-width space (U+200B) and zero-width joiner (U+200D). This allows you to encode arbitrary data in binary. I would give an example, but HN seems to strip this :(

Already linked in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43025913, and has a higher risk of being stripped, as you noticed.
