This script uses the pigpen plaintext font dictionary available here as a convenient json file: https://gist.github.com/jamesacampbell/f3612d454268f105faf34aef56499bb2

And if you are interested there is a pigpen cipher display for an HTML page in my codepen here: https://codepen.io/jamesacampbell/full/OjWvoR

for instance "a" = "_|" and "b" = "|_|".

and also available included in this repo as jsondata.json
