alternating Control Characters

A way out of the problem caused by control characters frequently appearing in original data is the definition of rules, according to which the control character changes at run-time. For example two alternating symbols can be defined.

Control Character:   # and *
     uncoded Data:   #####*****
       coded Data:   ##0*#3#*4

Beyond that a large variety of mechanisms is conceivable, so the control character's value could be incremented after each use. Another possibility is the use of the rarest symbol at run-time.
