Chaganava Code Alphabet was invented by Levan Chaganava in 2018. It is a visual code for storing and transmitting information that represents letters of the alphabet, numbers, and symbols as geometric shapes using binary encoding.
The goal of this book is to help you understand the character encoding system, improve your visual perception, and master the art of drawing perfect curves and lines through fun and educational hands-on exercises.
On individual pages of the book, you will find uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet, numbers, punctuation marks, and symbols with their eight-digit binary values, which consist of a sequence of zeros and ones. There are also matrices in light gray outlines, consisting of combinations of eight circles and eight triangles. Your task is to transform the binary values of the characters into visual forms by tracing and coloring the matrices.
In the Chaganava Code, zero is defined as a circle and one as a triangle. So, you need to count how many zeros and ones are in the binary code of a particular character and inspect the sequence of these digits. Then, on the matrix, outline in dark color only the contours of the circles and triangles that correspond to the binary code of the character.
You will get a combination of eight objects with dark outlines representing a letter, number, or symbol. Finally, fill the space between the outlines of the geometric shape with color, as shown in the samples.
As an exam assignment at the end of the book, on prepared matrices, create strong passwords of 9–12 characters using binary codes of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

As a graphic designer and font creator, I was familiar with the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character encoding, but this time, the structure of the binary code caught my attention.
While studying the binary values of the characters and symbols, I began experimenting with representing them as geometric shapes.
After trying many variations, I liked the combinations of circles and triangles, which resulted in impressive compositions. And most importantly, these compositions reflected the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and symbols.
Perhaps this visual code has the potential to be successfully used in data communication in the future. In the meantime, I prepared this entertaining book for observant children and adults to spark their interest in exploring the magic of data encoding.
So follow me in my invention. Have fun with exercises in converting the binary values of the characters into circles and triangles, tracing and coloring geometric shapes, and once you finish this book, you will have mastered yet another method of exchanging information.
I highly recommend that you use a black pencil to outline the shapes and then, if you like, fill in the white spaces inside them with colored pencils.
