    \$\begingroup\$ So does an ASCII only solution score twice its byte count? (i.e. ASCII characters times four to get in UTF-32 then ceil divide by two) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 3, 2024 at 19:05

    \$\begingroup\$ Also, if our code is actually bytes rather than characters then how should we score? Many golfing languages use custom code-pages and others use various standard code pages simply to make the code human-readable. Does each byte count for four points? Do we identify bytes 0-127 as "ASCII"? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 3, 2024 at 20:10

    \$\begingroup\$ @JonathanAllan If your code is bytes rather than characters and it can be decoded with ASCII then it counts as “ASCII-only”; otherwise each byte is 4 points. An ASCII only solution will score twice its byte count as a baseline, but if its output is scrambled it gets half the penalty points as well. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 3, 2024 at 20:57
