  1. The resulting character set is all one case, which can often be beneficial when using a case-insensitive filesystem, spoken language, or human memory.<\/li>\n
  2. The result can be used as a file name because it can not possibly contain the \u2018\/\u2019 symbol, which is the Unix path separator.<\/li>\n
  3. The alphabet can be selected to avoid similar-looking pairs of different symbols, so the strings can be accurately transcribed by hand. (For example, the RFC 4648<\/a>\u00a0symbol set omits the digits for one, eight and zero, since they could be confused with the letters \u2018I\u2019, \u2018B\u2019, and \u2018O\u2019.)<\/li>\n
  4. A result excluding padding can be included in a URL without encoding any characters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
