 For what it's worth, the character-to-number conversion also converted numbers, some punctuation, and certain TeX tags (like \textemdash gets its own number, as do "startquote" and "endquote").

How could this be ?  You say "each character has been converted to one of 52 two-digit numbers (so, 01 through 52)" but [a-zA-Z] of itself will require 52 such numbers, so what numbers are assigned to [0-9 . , ; : ! ? \textemdash ...] ?
