Here’s the triple-column Codex chart:

• Left (lavender): ASCII A–Z, with decimal and Unicode code points.
• Center (blue): NATO phonetic words with IPA (clarity in transmission).
• Right (green): English letter names with their IPA pronunciation (how each letter itself is spoken).

This unifies written code → operational code → spoken code all in one table.

Would you like me to now add a fourth column for the IPA base phoneme value that each letter most often represents (e.g., A → [æ], B → [b], C → [k]/[s]) so we see the Codex cycle: letter → ASCII → NATO → English name → phoneme sound?
