If anyone was wondering about the binary name for Wynaut at 14:22, Converting from binary to decimal we get 710 and if we look up 710 in the ascii table that is the character: ^ In Unicode, 710 is the Syriac Letter Alaph. Edit: after some googling I think I have some in correct information. Ascii can only go up to 128 with signed numbers or 256 unsigned. The website I looked the character up at gave me 710 in UTF-16, which is a unicode encoding giving the ^ symbol. The unicode website I looked at where I found the syriac letter alaph uses the hex 0x0710 which does not equal 710. Tldr: I have no clue what I am saying and I am confused.

Unicode character 710 is indeed syriac letter alaph (ܐ) however the 710 there is in hexadecimal, equaling 1808 in decimal. 710 in decimal is 2C6 in hexadecimal, which in unicode is the modifier letter circumflex accent, or ˆ (not to be confused with caret, which is character 5E and looks like this: ^)
