Letters worden vervangen door symbolen volgens een gegeven sleutel.
Symbol substitution codes replace letters with symbols (@, #, $, %, etc.) according to a provided key. Unlike alphabetic shifts, there's no predictable pattern—you must use the key exactly as given. The key may only cover some letters, with others following a different rule.
A=@, B=#, C=$, etc. (as specified in key)
- If A=@, B=#, C=$ then ABC = @#$
- If X=!, Y=?, Z=* then XYZ = !?*
- Decode #@$ using A=@, B=#, C=$ → BAC
Zo herkent u het
- Message contains symbols not normally in words
- A key is provided mapping letters to symbols
- No predictable pattern—must use the key
Veelgemaakte fouten
- Trying to find a pattern instead of using the key
- Confusing similar-looking symbols
- Misreading which symbol maps to which letter
Stapsgewijze uitwerking
Decodeer '#@$' met de sleutel: A=@, B=#, C=$
- Zoek # in de sleutel: B=#, dus # = B
- Zoek @ in de sleutel: A=@, dus @ = A
- Zoek $ in de sleutel: C=$, dus $ = C
