Base116
=======

Base116 is like Base85, but it increases data size by only 1/6 instead of
1/4.

Base116 exploits properties of UTF-8 to convert arbitrary binary data to
valid, printable UTF-8, with a lower size overhead than is possible with
any printable ASCII encoding.

For example, this binary data (in hex):

```text
9329bd4b43da0bfdd1d97bdf081a2d42ec540155
```

is encoded as:

```text
DZ<Oȥґ|yO(WFic{2n㎨r~9*Dz
```

Wrapping ‘DZ’ and ‘Dz’ characters are added by default to make encoded data
easier to select, as the data may start or end with combining characters or
characters from right-to-left scripts.

This crate provides both a binary and a library.

Usage
-----

The `base116` binary behaves like the `base64` binary on Unix-like systems:
`base116` encodes, and `base116 -d` decodes. See `base116 --help` for more
information.
