How many shapes would you need to draw to encode even basic data like an 64 bit string of text?

Serious question...would it be something that a person could sketch out quickly by hand? Or end up being a massive diagram?

I've been reading the book "Code" where they start getting into the combinatorics side of things, but still relatively new to it.

We already have such a system, it's called letters and numbers..
