IRA is a 7-bit code that allows 128 characters to be defined. In the 1970s, many news papers received stories from the wire services in a 6-bit code called TTS. This code carried upper and lowercase characters as well as many special characters and for matting commands. The typical TTS character set allowed over 100 characters to be defined. How do you think this could be accomplished?
