Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is the A-Tom-Tom code? (Definition)
The Tom-Tom (or A-Tom-Tom) code is a reinterpretation of the imagined Baudot or Morse code imagined by a certain Hayden as an alternative alphabet for the telegraph.
dCode advises against its use because it is an original work without a reliable source: the only reference to this code is a page on Omniglot.
How to encrypt using Tom Tom Code cipher?
The encryption with Tom-Tom is based on a subtitution of the letters of the Latin alphabet by slashes (/ slash and \ backslash) according to a predefined correspondence. Here is the Tomtom alphabet:
| A | / | B | // | C | /// | D | //// | E | /\ | F | //\ | G | ///\ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H | /\\ | I | /\\\ | J | \/ | K | \\/ | L | \\\/ | M | \// | N | \/// |
| O | /\/ | P | //\/ | Q | /\\/ | R | /\// | S | \/\ | T | \\/\ | U | \//\ |
| V | \/\\ | W | //\\ | X | \\// | Y | \/\/ | Z | /\/\ |
Example: TOMTOM is crypted \\/\ /\/ \// \\/\ /\/ \//
How to decrypt Tom Tom Code cipher?
Tomtom decryption consists in finding the sets of slash/stick characters / and \ corresponding to the letters (which is very difficult if the characters have no separator).
Example: `\/\ \\\/ / \/\ /\\' is decrypted SLASH
If there is no separator, dCode will make various attempts to find the corresponding potential words (only some results will be displayed - non exhaustive list)
How to recognize A Tom Tom Code ciphertext?
Code consists of oblique bars (diagonal) / or \ (slash or backslash)
A riddle could refer to the GPS brand, even if the name has nothing to do with Tom-Tom company.
What are the variants of the Tom Tom Code cipher?
To deceive a decoder it is possible to invert the / and \ (which leads to a complete modification of the alphabet)
The use of 2 characters to code letters is similar to Morse code or Baudot code.
