Taking a few tricks from tilly, and influences from
merlyn, this one appears to be 74 characters:
This will only work on single character 'alphabets', or those that y// can handle as UNICODE. Update: I forgot to include the "\Q" and "\E" escapes to prevent it from going south if the "alphabet" contained characters such as '/' or '\n'. 4 character penalty. Update 2: If you want to cheat, you can always insert the literal character ASCII 255 into the string instead of the comparatively verbose '\377', which saves 3 characters, yielding a length of 71, though some editors show that single "character" as 2 on screen.
