What digit bases do you like?
qntm did a fun project of using larger bases, constrained to subsets of unicode instead of ASCII like base64. It's specifically for social channels where you're constrained by the number of code points, but not bytes, so you want to maximize data per code point. base2048 is pretty impressive, and base32768 is just absurd.

Numbers don't have to loop until 32k or 2048 (or even up to 1,112,064, until such point the Unicode standard allows for more)

Twitter's anti-Mastodon filter evasion
On a semi-related note, they mention base64 encoding messages to evade filters. There were actually other base{n} methods [1] created specifically for Twitter to be more space optimized though not as readily available to operating systems. I guess this is less useful if they are really expanding the text limit to 4k soon but figured I would add it in the event they add a parser for base64.

A rust crate that lets you compress ASCII text to a single Unicode "character"
Actually, in the case of twitter they do some weird counting. It is mostly based on codepoints, true, but some codepoints are considered "heavy" and are counted twice, see https://github.com/qntm/base2048

New Twitter TOS
I know of one case of Twitter doing client side validation [1]. Maybe there are more?
