That’s not such a bad idea, since it would make outputting to a 7-segment display a little more flexible. Here’s a good idea for how to build a function to output values based on an encoding scheme:

I suppose we could also get a bit more creative and allow for a full set of ASCII values to be put out on the display, but at that point, I think it would be better to consider a different type of display.
