[ He hums at the question, like that's more of a serious question and something he's actually given thought to since Aziraphale brought it up. ]
I heard about that.
[ He's doing serious thinking now, because he's raised two fingers as though he's going through some tough calculations, because he kind of is. ]
The thing...about those codes...
[ He's speaking slower, a lot more like he's not really entirely focused on what he's saying. ]
Is that they're meant to share a common language. Morse code is great, but if you don't know English, it's somewhat useless.
[ Meaning then, that both Gen and Senku speak English to some level. ]
Another cipher we use, requires fluency in Japanese, along with the modifications from the base cipher to modern language.
[ It can get complicated fast, if they don't understand that much. ]
We'd have to have a common language, or at least a common alphabet to make some kind of code feasible. If you wanted to go without an auditory cue, it's still the same thing. Things like sign languages changed based on the language you know.
