The tap code is based on a [[Polybius square]] using a 5×5 grid of letters representing all the letters of the [[Latin alphabet]], except for K, which is represented by C.<ref name="pbs"/>
 
Each letter is communicated by tapping two numbers, the first designating the row and the second (after a pause) designating the column.
