excellent point! at the time I was thinking about fixed-width binary specifically and trying to think of interesting uses for it, but that’s a good point.
Fixing it definitely has advantages too. Just off the top of my head: Code length growing linearly with word length is one thing, figuring out what the last letter is (which is important when reading quickly) is another.
I didn’t recognize the Toki Pona logo but managed to read/decode the writing at the bottom, so it can’t be that bad.
Although I’d probably make use of some letters being more frequent than others and use a Huffman code instead of giving everything a fixed length.
