Not all characters end up having either a zero or one that is only
a single bit width wide.  IIRC, a string of capital "U" characters
is nearly a perfect square wave (with f = 1/5 bitrate?) (this caused
some interesting problems with some of the early high-speed modems;
they'd lose sync...)

user input...
