Answers to Questions (FAQ)
How to encrypt using dice symbols?
Any code comprising digits 1 to 6 can be encoded with the 7 Unicode symbols representing dice (one side of a 6-sided cubic dice).
| 1 | ⚀ |
|---|---|
| 2 | ⚁ |
| 3 | ⚂ |
| 4 | ⚃ |
| 5 | ⚄ |
| 6 | ⚅ |
| ? | 🎲 |
Example: 421 is written ⚃⚁⚀
To be sure that only the digits 1 to 6 are used, writing in base 6 (or less, base 5 or base 4 ...) is practical as is a grid encryption of size 5 or 6 (Polybius square, ADFGVX cipher etc.)
How to decrypt a message with dice?
The first step is to replace each die with its value
| ⚀ | 1 |
|---|---|
| ⚁ | 2 |
| ⚂ | 3 |
| ⚃ | 4 |
| ⚄ | 5 |
| ⚅ | 6 |
| 🎲 | ? |
It is then likely that the message will use a second encryption method to decode the digits / numbers found.
How to recognize a dice ciphertext?
Basically the message is made up of dice, the Unicode symbols U + 2680 to U + 2685 or the Emoji U + 1F3B2 🎲
Any reference to the number 6, to dice games (Craps, 421, Yams, Yahtzee) are clues
