Each pair in @japh (I reformatted $q into @japh for convenience) encodes two or three pieces of information. Each number is split as a nibble and a byte. If the nibble in the first number is non-zero then the byte from the second number is an offset into $data to find a two byte hex encoded character. If the nibble was zero then each byte specifies an index into $data to retrieve the two nibbles of the two byte hex encoded character. The first number's byte is the most significant nibble in that value.
