Answers to Questions (FAQ)

What is the secret code of Dada Urka? (Definition)

How to decrypt Dada Urka cipher?

The decryption of the Dada Ourka code consists of replacing the symbols with the letter of the corresponding French (or foreign) alphabet.

Example: char(68)char(73)char(83)char(78)char(69)char(89) is translated DISNEY

How to recognize a Dada Urka ciphertext? (Identification)

The Dada Ourka symbols/glyphs are similar to those of the Pig-Pen code: right corners/angles accompanied by zero, one or two dots. The presence of double dots makes it possible to differentiate it from the Freemasons cipher or the rosicrucian cipher.

All references to Disney's Donald duck, uncle Scrooge, his nephews: Huey, Dewey and Louie (or the Junior Woodchucks) are clues.

Any mention of a Martian sect (from the planet Mars) is also a clue.

What are the variants of the Dada Urka cipher?

A Greek version has a different translation of the symbols.

dCode is interested in knowing other international versions if they exist.

When was Dada Urka code invented?

The Junior Woodchucks Guidebook was published near 1970 in several languages.
