[nmcihzfy] More majuscule

We can add the digits 1 through 9, omitting zero which is difficult to distinguish from the letter O, to the list of capital (uppercase) letters, yielding 45.  Use lining figures (uppercase numerals) not text figures.

We assume that font and resolution sufficient to differentiate OQ can also differentiate 1I 2Z 5S 6G 8BΘ OΘ etc.

There are also lowercase letters with ascenders but I don't feel they work so well in this collection.  In some fonts, J and Q (and maybe more) have descenders.

For base 45, it might be better to use zero and omit capital letter O so that the symbols can use a natural order: numbers, Latin letters, Greek letters.  Omega is last, following tradition.

Perhaps useful for a mysterious-looking wall of symbols like The Matrix.  Here is some random text: WVR4UFΞΨEII9R3L0JTHKΩVCG900BΨΘ367XLKDAPΛΨ82CΞ0N4MMR75XΛMEZLTNPQΩXW5K2ΘTΛVQVS154KWNBZ6XM7RMΞBKGVΨE7DR2ΘΣTW7VSΩΛXFG51ΛKRZ8UΓ6YUG9CNΠH1AΩLIW9EΨBBDNDΔZΩWFRACΓRTΔE07JNXFFVB7Ξ2ΨΩΛBIYDΣHDACWΘ551USHZWD3ΞΔΨ3JCABPDL0ΞYS3LAUKDMEDZLΦZΣΠE3ΨFΣBPΓΞΦΦ1S8ΞEΘLRΔΠ00ECΠRYQΨΔSQMΞ21ΛWΔVMB9F3MΠΓKFJΠFF139UZ6UΞQ1TΘΨQEKV5BLC8VΨ5ΛGESAGΓJ5E6GAΨBΓJNΔ161M1B5L1F8I5QΣΓNΔJNCΨ5ΛC6U8RL3V6ZVCΨ95Π9NKCTZ1ΨΩ8FILU3W38RFEEL7ΠKYLRΠRCE82GS8JMPQBBGGΠBG7B5N9NΔYSIFH6EQE5ΨΓPΣZRBDG8NMXΠLFPΩF0RDEΓL1ΛΔWLUPN8QVZΛΨΔ2BWΛ9KCΣΞΘ0RΞAΔ5CT1LGHGH0Z4PΔH5ΦSΞI27ΠXUNQΦURIFVΓΩA8VΞFA9EILΩFMΘΔL1VRAKCK4Θ0NRK1ALΩΦΓΣ5L4Ξ5ZΞQ0HRΠ0DΞΛ86ΓZTFX3ΓΠKH0E8XNΞZ5ΓΓYVY3IGNPGMFΦΔXVGIYRQΩSC0ΛGYZW85FJBΠQ5ΨIXΓUΨΘLΣ2RΘJP66VΨΓWΨD08SW0M0T8ΩCΩYΓACUΓ1KVLΠMJDKUFΠ9ΨΛΘKQΛΔΔ8INCWE0ΘΣBJN8AΛΨFΞX8RΨ6WDΞPΓRHLWTΣRΦNZWΦULGΩPΞΨV068RΨAW8XZ11E4ΛGUΨ8SPΠΨDMW55JHLTB96YF435UΠU8Φ4EZYJΩSFUF2JWGET1VXYΩWSFT4ΘΞFKKA49GYRΠΦF0ΓΓSKΛJΣZΨMXB3TMΔPKΔDMIDJMΦER596HG5YΨGJMXΓA730Γ9Φ17NG4MΓSU46SΛPBLΓDΨTDXΛFWFNEC5Y4PVΞΓCEDHWIΩWW5BHQT4I6NQ2NA2WHSIX2TΩMRLΦV5TH6ΣΔ4Σ12H0ΠBΨΩT1Q2GMKFBSΔEHΣGEFEBΠΣ64KA0LL8PΔTPMYΦ57J

Capital thorn Þ is likely well supported as it is part of Latin-1.  Also consider ampersand & as a historical letter.
