Different problem. I've converted hex to emojis but here I'm talking about mostly getting the names in but not needing megabytes and megabytes of improbably necessary npub characters to handle say 99% of nicks.

Oh well maybe zipping it is sufficient enough... Some use a lightning address thing or something. But it is one of the shifts in how this network is taking responsibilities of the centralized hosts. First you just had to look at a filepath and expect that to belong to a certain person. It was all serverside who hosted etc. You didn't need to verify anything. Now we do.
