In Sherlock Holmes' story "The Adventure of the Dancing
Men", a man reports that his wife, Elsie, became upset
when she received several notes with figures of dancing
men on them. Holmes went about deciphering the code.
There are two sets of characters, ones with and ones without flags. The characters holding a flag in one hand mark the last letters of words. The last letter of the last word may or may not have a flag.
Below is an example of that code and a tool to decipher it.
